Big Hippo Tang

[ickmagnet]

My tank is a 135gallon. So, with this mirror technique, do you leave it in the all the time? Will separating the fish reduce aggression? I'm sure I can get a mirror/glass and try it and isolate him fo a few days. I wouldn't mind keeping him but he is a complete ass to ther other fish. If separating him temporarily will help. I'll try it.

It's funny because mine is such a whimp. I would try the mirror worked great for me with a nasty fish, mind you mine was a four line wrasse. He was very bad fishy!

How big is your Hippo? If its small still (under 5-6") then I would say just wait...they seem to get kind of mean when older.

I don't know how much meaner it can get. After looking at it again today, I would say that is about 6" and thick.

i don't know if you have any but an active cleaner (shrimp or wrasse) is a good way to bring aggression down in a tank .....a clean fish is a happy fish....just a thought
