Well that worries me...

Looks like hes staying though for now. The tusk will just have to deal with it. I had a chance to catch him when I redid my rockwork yesterday but no good homes to go to, so I left him in there.

If anyone is still interested, you can PM me still but I am not so sure I can catch him easily anymore.

I am thinking I might sell the Tusk instead.

HAHA you guys are all boobs. Pfffttt you underestimate me and my fish placing skills.

Hippo tang would be VERY happy in a 300 gallon reef being currently built in-wall in west van. Sump is just going in... so it would be a couple months yet.

Thanks Diana but that will be a little too far away Im afraid. I need to find a home much sooner I think.

If you are willing to sell the Tusk Raf might be interested. Our 220 could house him. We do have some big bossy fish though, I wonder if he would be ok? Raf has been thinking of getting one for ages. LMK

Well I was just talking to my fiancee about him and actually the Tusk is the one fish she says absolutely cannot go. I agree. He is my favorite fish by FAR...I was just thinking that if I can't find a good home for the Hippo that maybe for his own good, the tusk would have to go.

The Tusk isn't in any kind of danger I don't think, so he will just have to deal with the chasing a bit longer until someone takes the Hippo. Im just not really impressed so far with the homes I have found. Most are just way too small.

Its hard eh? When the store gets in big fish I just have to frown because there are so few aquariums out there that can properly house them. When we get our new house we are going to do a large in-wall acrylic FO tank, and give homes to big fish. I will be the Fish Whisperer.

I agree I would sooner part with the Hippo... Tusks are just too cool. Maybe some sort of ugly tank divider if the chasing gets outta control? Or give the Hippo a time out in a small tank. He will eventually learn his lesson. :P

I'll keep you in mind either way.

I had the same dilemma with my sohal tang for the past two months. I trapped him the other day and put him in my 90g. I thought I would keep him there for a time out. Then I saw a totally different community tank. My fish were out grazing, playing in the powerheads and were so happy and much more interactive. Fish that I would not see very much were out and about almost like they did not know my tank anymore...

I knew right then the sohal could never go back into my display. My sohal picked on a few fish but I did not realize his dictatorship in the tank. I brought him back to the LFS and I know they will find him a good home. As bad as I felt about it and how much I enjoyed this fish, he made life miserable for everybody.

I can bet if you took him out for a break you would never put him back in. I thought he just picked on a couple of fish, but everybody was stressed out by his presence. I feel bad I kept him for so long now. I might miss him, but nobody else does.
