New Hippo Tang

[kmmahan]

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I just got a Hippo tang-- it's the craziest fish I have ever seen-- But he is so small . . . Probably a little bit bigger than my thumb-- I was worried about introducing him into my tank with my GBM because he is so mean-- even to me-- I love him though-- he is so beautiful-- but he attacksme every chance he gets-- he's funny. When I released the Hippo into the tank-- "Geronimo" (GBM clown) just swam right up to him and floated sideways like he wanted the hippo to clean him-- it was the craziest thing I had ever seen-- because he would never let the goby, wrasse, or cleaner shrimp clean him-- well of course the tang didn't clean him or anything-- but then the Hippo just latched on to Geronimo and wouldn't leave his side-- But when Geronimo goes to his home (purple LTA)-- he soesn't want the tang near and he gently nudges him out the way-- in which the tang responds by turning around backwards and remaining in the same spot--It isvery weird-- the tang doesn't seem to understand and I am suprised that Geronimo is so gentle-- he won't attack or nip the fish or anything-- which is weird b/c he can attack any other fish,mostly fish much bigger than he is-- I am just wondering if he is just being sensitive to thetiny size of the tang or what . . . anybodyelse have a hippo tang/GBM clown combination in their tanks? Maybe later I will be able to get some good pics-- video would be better though . . .#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

Glad to see I'm no tthe only one who likes to take a LOT of pictures... :) No worries, it's good to see that image resizer program is getting some exercise, post away.
