Who knows?? I was just surfing and came across them and the first thought I had was "This is Goodwin in his new tank"........so I just had to post it.

I am taking a chance. Water has been good the past week after the first introductions. I am counting on the volume of water being able to handle the load of the new fish. I've got 200 gallons ready to go incase things go south. I guess time will tell how big of a mistake $$$ I might have made. Good news is that the fish looked great tonight. Pictures coming shortly.

hey chuck,
just a thought but with all of those tangs , if it were me , i would order about 20+ or so cleaner shrimp as to make sure they never get ich and that if so, god forbid, the cleaners will clean them up real quick.. i love watching my cleaner shrimp in the "cleaning" station service the tangs when they swim through

I did get 4 cleaner shrimp & 4 cleaner wrasses. The chromis went to the shrimp and the wrasses were all over the rest of the fish. I think that I have a couple of shots in tonight photos that I am going through. I thought about getting more shrimp because they were pretty reasonably priced.

Thanks!
I love them! Do you have 3? Looks like one is a reflection. A Blue Hippo tang is the ONE fish I'm waiting to put in my tank. It's the whole reason I got a 6' tank. I know, crazy for just one simple fish. :hilarious
