Rip hippo tang

[Dk638]

Just found my favorite fish on the hardwood. Had my hippo since he was the size of a half dollar. Really upsetting, he was king of the tank.

RIP

Sorry for your loss.

Thanks all. Yeah no top, 150g. I knew there was a risk with no top but many people run topless tanks, I tried not to keep any fish that "like" to jump. Never thought a hippo would jump, he's been in topless tanks since I got him over 2 years ago. Even tanks with a canopy this could happen to, there is always a small opening. I'm gonna get some screening now.
