mFrame Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Iwill take him pending. I think a 46g might be a little small for this guy. Tang police, I know, I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SChrisEV Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 +1 on 46g too small. Minimum tank size for the Hippo is 180 gallons. I know lots keep them in smaller but, that is recommended min. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguilasol Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Sorry guys, 46 gal was my old tank. I actually have ,92 gal corner now, and and, 120 that is currently fresh water but thinking about converting to saltwater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaarrrggg Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Please add me to the line too! 144g with loads of room and no other tangs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Allow me to be Tang Police for a minute... I think a 120 is too small as well. These fish need swimming room and a 4ft long tank doesnt provide much, let alone a 92 corner. I'd even posit that the 144 half round is undersized for one. A 6ft long tank would be minimum IMO. \rant off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannerfish Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Tank raised? I didn't know they were breeding them, where can you find tank raised juvies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 6ft long tank would be minimum IMO. \rant off You're probably right there. I was hoping that the curved edge would help because they could potentially follow it round for a longer swim ...plus I have a very open plan aquascape. Still not ideal though I know! I might give up on my hopes for a blue tang, I definitely wouldn't feel right with a full size one crammed in my tank. Might set my sights on a Yellow Tang instead. Tank raised? I didn't know they were breeding them, where can you find tank raised juvies? I don't think they're tank bred yet, but I have seen tank raised ones being sold online before. I believe either the eggs or juvis are collected from the wild and then raised in captivity. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to name names as they're not a sponsor, but google "tank raised blue tang" and you'll find them. I've never actually seen them in-stock though.

Bannerfish Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Hmmm. I'm definitely gonna look into that, thanks! Even if they aren't technically captive bred I think it's a better option than larger wild caughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaarrrggg Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Most definitely! Always good to support captive bred/raised whenever we can, even if they cost a little more, it's nice to be investing in the future of reefing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
