This past spring I bought a complete 55 gallon setup out of the local paper. The tank came with a yellow tang, maroon and gold clownfish and a yellow belly hippo tang. I kept all three for the summer, but when I moved into my apartment this fall I got rid of the yellow tang and the maroon and gold clown because they were out growing the tank. I kept the yellow belly because it is semi rare (I have only been doing this for two years but have never seen another in person) and wasn't pushing the limits to hardcore yet. Well four months later he is significantly bigger. He is healthy and I keep him fat. So... I am now at a fork where I don't really want to upgrade, but as close as I am with my LFS I know I am going to get ripped off if I trade him in. So here is my questions.....Would a 90 gallon aquarium be large enough, where it would be worth it for me to spend the money to upgrade. How often have you seen Yellow Belly Hippo's in your LFS and what do they usually go for?????.....Online they go for $120 as a baby and upto $250 for adults.
