Thank you for the fish today, great setup!

I just finished acclimating them and they seem to be doing well, I have the lights all off and will check on them in the AM when they get settled.

Thanks again and you will be seeing me again in the future!

Nothing crazy about it, you calling me crazy! :splitspin:

Will do I just turned the blue lights on only to take a peak and the hippo is wedged between rocks sleeping, the yellow seems to be sitting on the bottom/hovering.

Will see how the powder blue reacts tomorrow. I'd love to take that achilles, but don't want to risk losing another one at such a high $ :/

That is pretty normal for hippo tangs, especially when they are new to a system. Give it a week or so, once he becomes more comfortable with his tank environment and you he will be swimming about.

Once he starts to associate you with food and he's eating you will be golden.

My
Powder blue died between last night and today :/. When I went out it ate and was swimming fine and just now nothing dead.

Dom if you can get one please let me know as it's such a gorgeous fish.

That sux Brandon. Its because of that MO I don't bring them in often. Its probably going to be a while before I bring one in since I'm working with Achilles Tangs right now. I have the one and I'm getting 2 more this upcoming week.

PBTs are always available though so if you want one, just not QT'd, I'll get it for you but I wouldn't recommend it.

How long did you have the PBT?

Had the powder blue for about 3 months. Let me know the price on the Achilles when it's ready.
