Thanks for all the comments. Yeah, she was a typical Hippo - got Ich about a 1000 times in her life. I'm trying to decide if I should get another one. I'd have to start her/him in my 55 though. The big tank is kinda rough for newcomers now.
Justin, I've been keeping SW fish since 1972... Yeah, I'm old.

Yeah, you can't believe what the hobby was like then... Fish didn't live very long.

Bill, sorry to hear about your lost hippo! I don't think people who are not in the hobby can understand how attached we can become to our fish...

So sorry to hear about the loss Bill. I know what you mean by fish not living as long. I've been doing this since about 1982 and it's amazing the changes in technology for this hobby.
