Big Hippo Tang

I started around 2ish today and removed all my live rock and put it in the tub. I had nowhere else for it so i had to leave it there. Then they had nowhere to hide and we managed to corner it and sweep it up with the net.

Oh so it was really easy and simple. Basically the fish swam into the net with no hassle at all. Great

Thanks for the heads up

It didn't just swim in to the net. It took about 10-15 minutes trying to trick him into it but it eventually worked.

OK, so I obviously couldn't have the fish in a bucket for that long so I made a makeshift divider in my tank and threw it back in on the smaller side. This will make it easier to catch tomorrow. I wwill hold it for anyone who wants it for 25 bucks There is one condition though, I would like for it to go in a big established tank (mine is 135). Even though this guy is aggressive, he has been around in my tank for ages and I want him to go to a good home. I'll come home from work tomorrow and check this thread at 4ish and if nobody has responded, I'm going to have to go to JL Aquatics and hand him over to the authorities for a credit. I'd hate to give him away not knowing where he'll end up but I can't afford the carnage he'll cause in my tank.

So, make sure you have a big tank with semi-aggressive fish and he'll be fine.

I also have a smaller Scopas tang ($20)
