blue hippo tang - for sale

[Swirlygig]

well I am really upset right now...this just sucks...

one of my favorite most beautiful fish...my blue hippo has found a taste for LPS...

I couldn't explain why I lost my blasto colony every day and finally today right in front of me...my huge brain has been looking like he had nips...my hippo came right out in front of me and started nailing at him...

I really love this fish and it makes me sad I have had her for 2yrs

she is ~ 5"

Tell me how to get her out without devastating my tank...

So...a fish this size is about $110-130...asking $90

good luck with getting her out without removing all your rock.

fish trap with seaweed in it works great

How open is your aqua scape?

If you have enough room to get it on one side of the tank I found this home made contraption from window screen and metal strips to be a breeze. I had to remove a very small fast swimming fish and I did it in 5 mintues and didn't frag anything.

You are welcome to borrow mine.

I have used clear bags with fish food before, but ummm...that was with a more social angel...she can be shy...

I am screwed... I have lots of rock! and she can hide great!

I love this fish so much, whoever ends up with her will love this fish, but not with LPS i guess...softies and sps will be great

How about a small hook and bait? I feel like fishin this weekend!! Got ya some beer?

Seriously, how's the chalice?

 

[Swirlygig]

She is ravenous, but only when i close that lid...my overly social clown and others would so eat a hook no problem lol...

The chalice is just fine and growing over the edges now, just need it to get a skeleton going...she took another nip at my alien eye after i sent these messages...I was like oh boy it's on like donky cong!

I could prob use the help after I get out of work today...Gonna run some errunds and then...probably 2 or so...we are going to the orca meeting a block or so away tonight, so we could always head over there...lol

[Swirlygig]
