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.

Yeah he has one of the worst cases of HLLE I have ever seen. I still feel so bad for him. I really would take him if I didn't already have a Hippo or if two hippos would get along in one tank.

He did seem quite active and just needs a good diet and care for a bit.
