Blue hippo tang

[btldreef]

Thats before i lost my some fish

Either way, I really don't want her going in a tank that gets that packed out with large fish. Sorry. I'm a psycho about the care of my fish and overstocked tanks. She's with two tangs and is aggressive, I can't imagine how much worse she'd be in that type of situation. It's just how I am. I'm a fish nut. As it is, I (the wife), don't want to get rid of her, she's beautiful and I worked hard to get her healthy, but she's harassing my yellow candy hogfish and my coral beauty and I can't have the aggression starting in my tank.

**I also will not let this fish go to a smaller tank. The smallest tank she ever saw was a 155. She uses every last inch of my 180, I'm not letting someone with a 55 take her so please don't PM me about taking this fish if you don't have a proper home. Just because she's free doesn't mean I'm just going to toss her to the first person that comes along with water**

I was asking about your lights

I'm aware, but you also asked about the hippo, which is what this thread is about, so that's what I responded to in this thread. My husband just has not gotten a chance to respond to the LED PM. The LEDs are not my thing, that's his. The short answer, it ran about $1500 if I remember correctly (could be totally wrong), but things have come down in price quite a bit.
Sorry for being harsh, I have so many PM's asking about this fish from people with 55G tanks that want to give it a "good" home. It's making me nuts that my husband even made this thread, but the fish has to go (just not to 55G).

Needs to go to a good home..

In that case you may need to be more specific what a "good home" is, not many members have 250g+ tanks, that's just the reality. And even if they did, I'm sure they will be heavily stocked, many senior members have multiple tangs that have thrived in 5 foot tanks-I've seen it myself. Just a thought...

Im not the type to argue over an internet forum, not arguing at all, I dont like seeing tangs in anything less than a 6 foot tank myself.
What im saying if someone has at least a 155 as you say, the list of members get short, shorter still if you don't want your tang with large fish, hence if members have large tanks like yourself, chances are they will have a tank with many large fish as we've become accustomed in this hobby, especially tangs. So your ruling out members who are much like yourself. And thus why shes still available.
