Jayeden, I have a yellow and a blue hippo in a 150 and they get along fine. They have been together for a couple of years and have never had any problems. =-)

Here is my Hippo Tang.
His name is Joe Blue.
You're my fish, Blue. I know it is cheezy but Old School was a great movie.

is tht a new one or the one you were talking about and he/she is going into another tank or being acclimated for some reason?
thts normal for them to lay on their side when they are acclimating right?

yes going from one tank to another. they will lay on their side and play dead when trapped like that. this is why some online vendors wont garauntee them for fear someone will toss it thinking they are DOA when they are just laying on their side.
