I hope it is not a bad sign that one dies at wholesaler.

I would think it'd mean nothing, one way or the other. Two of my favorite rarities, BTW. Good luck with them.

No the other one is in the small tank there I introduce new fishes until they are stronger and eat well.

Hey Dmorty,
I'm not sure if that explains my question. Few months ago I pick up two very tiny hippo tangs (hepatus). I was surprised because I often see fights between this two little guys in my big tank. I thing if I introduce them in my small tank like the polyzonas I have to divorce them also. In big tank it is definitely easier.
Bad news. The polyzona from the video disappeared. Yesterday he was very present and catch Nori from open water and pick algae from the stones. S**t!
The smaller one in small tank eat very well and get thicker the last days. In the small tank I feed 6 times a day different small frozen food and pellets. Also the water speed is less and the food cycle long time slowly in tank. Also I have enough nori on clip the hole and no pressure from other fish. I will recognize the development of that last fish the next weeks and decide again to buy more of tham or stop with polyzona.

News: together now I become 5 Polyzona. The first two was very tiny. one dies in DT because I have to separate them because they fighting in small 50 gallon tank. The second time I also get two. They was much bigger and I introduce in displaytank. One dies after a few hours.
On Wednesday I become one. I take the one of the 50 gallon tank that was nun fat and healthy into Display and put the new big one into small tank. The small one get healthy attacked by the polyzona of displaytank. Next day the same. I fear the lost of it and put the new one of small tank also into displaytank to share the aggression. It works. The last one is the biggest of the them and didn't get such heavy wounds like the smallest. The smallest had a really bad time but now he get attacked just sometimes and not the hole time. Also he eats after attacks. That's a good sign. The video shows first the new big one with small wounds. Then the smallest one with heavy wounds and least the aggressor. Fingers crossed that the smallest will made it...
All together I bought 5 and in this moment just 3 made it..
