Just stressed. Give him sometime.

I got a 45 gallon on Thursday that i will turn into a sump/refuge

12g is tiny.

Im also worried. After i added my teeny tiny CBS, he already took over my matured Fire shirmp's home.

Just to let you know, ***** has a sale for 20-55 gallon tanks. $1 for each gallon.

My hippo tang(1"-1.5") had like 30 spots of ick just last week. I believe it was due to me not turning the lights on and leaving him in the dark but after reading here, apparently its not. I was sure he was a gonner but then i fed some greens and meats soaked in garlic and vitamins each every...

One thing i noticed is that he tries to eat some formula two(greens) but then spits it out. Then i feed marine cuisine(mysis etc) and he eats some small things but not the mysis itself.

Nah. I wont get him replaced. As long as he isnt as delicate as a Powder tang then he's gonna be a keeper. He isnt, right?

Ah. Good info.

he's in QT right now and in a 29G. When he checks out alright, I'll put him in my DT tank. 72G Bow front.

It's hard to get a closser pic. He is a very fast fish. I actually like his color now. It's different. For $20, its a good buy.

You think it could be this fish? I sures look more like that color than this:

I'd like to hear what other hippo tang owners have to say. Im not saying you are right or wrong but from my experience, Dark=bad. So when the fishes lose color when left in the dark, thats not stress?

Got ya. I fed him formula 2 greens and marine cuisine last night. I have a seeweed on a clip too but he hast touch that.

When he's stressed like when i got him from the box, he had the white spots that they metion to look for. Now, he is just solid grey. Maybe they get their color as they grow.

I had him since tuesday yesterday and bought him from here. I dripped acc. him for 3hr. He looks ok but he just has no color yet. Just grey.

Is a small Naso Tang suppose to be grey in color? I mean just grey all in all and not have any color anywhere else?

They are never in dark now. I switch the timing to daytime lights off and nighttime lights on. Leaving the lights on will cause an algea growth. Duh.

Also lighting should be added to the list that causes stress. My lights on my QT died and left my hippo tang in the dark for a few hours. When i got my spare light, he had a billion ick on him. I fed greens and meats with garlic and some vitamins supplements and now it has no ick in him. I...

looks good.
