Thread: Dead Blue Hippo Tang

    Sorry to hear of your loss, it sucks when everything is going great and for some unknown reason, something happens. I was nursing a Hippo back to health from someone who mistreated it. I already had one in my system and added the second one to hopefully recover. Things were going great, its color was coming back and in fact my hippo took it under its fin and would protect it from being picked on by others. just recently, (about 2 months after it was introduced mind you) my original went Bobby Brown on it and it that was the end of that.

    Ismael, sorry to hear about your little blue hippo... appears not a good week for the fishes.

    It's terrible when stuff dies, especially when you can't see any reason for it.

    I am soooo sorry. RIP. I can't believe he died right on the spot, though.

    Must be something in the air. I lost my favorite flame angel Tuesday and I'm not sure why. I had it for a few months and it had been eating and behaving well. It's bad enough when you lose a fish because it wasn't eating, got bullied, or decided to jump out of the tank, but it is frustrating when you can't figure out why they died.
