I am by no means getting a Tang lets just get that out of the way now
I do however want to get a 120 gallon and I know that the first fish we will want is going to be a hippo and/or maybe a yellow tang. (can we have both in this size tank?)
My questions I guess relate to ich and stress of the tangs. From reading on here I have noticed that tangs are VERY likely to get ich and from what I have read Hippos are very likely to be the first.
When you buy a tang and take it out of its home (LFS) = stress, then take it home and put it in a QT= stress. Then if it hasn't gotten ich from this wouldn't it be likely to get ich when you move it AGAIN to put it in your MT??
I guess that is it. Moving it so much wouldn't that cause much stress and cause the ich? If ich is actually stress related?? :notsure:
I hope that isn't stupid I am just wondering about it. :happyfish
