    I would go with just the yellow tang. Hippos are too prone to ich if kept in improper tanks, even when small. Jon

    Anyone with brackish?

    yes, brackish is just lower salinity, around 1.005 to 1.012. Most brackish fish "can" be kept in all 3 settings, but are stressed in full fresh or full sea, but at the same time, many fish live in fresh as fry, brackish as juvis, and salt as adults. since they are adapted to so many conditions...
