Don't know how it happened but my Baby hippo got caught in my PH. Came home from work and he was half way inside of it. I couldn't save him he must have been in there all day.
RIP Baby Hippo

Sorry about your loss, but he probably died before the ph got to him. Low survival rate especially among the babies. Beautiful fish, but a p.i.t.a. I hate mine, evil little %^#$#(#%)@!^#&#*%&#*$#*%#*. Wish I could catch him, take him back. (all talk, I don't have the heart to do that)

Do not give up, I also wanted the blue hippo, it is why I got into the hobby too...get a larger one is all. Having your favorite fish is what it's all about.

I will when I up grade my tank. Then I can get a bigger one I thought I could get it small then by the time it got bigger I would have my bigger tank. I will have to order it though because my LFS only has babies they never get larger ones.

With a tank that size (210g) ..you can have pretty much anything you want...what you need to do is decide what you want the most and build around that. Each critter must get along with what is already in there..I am posting a copy of two books and pages so you can see the info. They will save you lots of money and headaches.

my tank is 210 gal with 400p/l/r i want to do a reef tank i for sure want clownfish and a blue hippo tang and yellow tang but i dont know if i can mix the clownfish
"meaning can i have 2 to 3 different kinds in my tank? or will they kill each other i like the black , and reg orange and white and also a clown tomato fish and what about the tangs ? someone told me if they look close alike that they would fight? and that would stress out my tank

I don't know about the clowns I only have 1 Clarki but Tangs I do know fight if they have the same shape my yellow Tang is a bully to anything new in my tank. He gave my Singapore a hard time at first but they get along fine now.
