I felt bad for the big guy.
FYI, this hippo was not 'picked on', he has severe lateral line erosion caused by poor nutrition and bad water quality, and was brought to the store to have a chance at a better life! Regal tangs are so prone to lateral line. He is needing a good home with an owner that will feed him seaweed and veggies daily to try and repair some of the damage... Although he will probably never fully heal.
