Stillmastiff: that's my AT hybrid & my HT Aussie that Dmorty posted! I sent pics to him & he helped me out! He is a good reefer/fishman!

My HT aussie doing great! Eats mostly pellets of all kinds! Mainly eats off of the bottom very few times he has eaten out of the water colum he is still in QT but no signs of anything so far just clean & huge

Update: I put my 2 HT in same tank so far they don't even look at each other! When one swims past the other they just swim on by no nipping or nuttin just laid back both eat together! Will keep y'all updated on how they do after a few more days in same tank!

There is a 6 inch Aussie HT on eBay for $120 and he looks very nice! I have bought fish and corals from him before he packs great for shipping and has very very healthy fish! That's a great price for a 6 inch Aussie HT go check him out before he is gone! Seller name REEFANIMALS on eBay

Very nice fish!! Very good pics!

Thanks. You can tell the difference in color from the Aussie tusk from indo easy, but these pictures do not do him justice. Good luck with you tusk.

I have a Aussie & indo in same tank & yes you can tell a difference but both are very nice fish! So far my 2 get alone fine! Both lov pellets! And lov flakes! Those pics that you posted look very good! Your fish looks very healthy! Keep up the good fish keeping!!

How do they live in the wild? Solitary?

I believe solitary. During spawning, however, several can be seen at dusk in the same area. Here's a report on their spawning behavior.

Both my HT are doing great in the same tank! They eat everything even eat off the nori clip! They get it before my tangs get to it
How is everyone's HT doing? Updates!!
