NoobtoSalt Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Looking to Sell my last Blue Hippo Tang. This one is super healthy. I have lost two of the little ones in different tanks with Ich and this one is starting to outgrow my tank with how much livestock I have in the tank already. He's around 5-5 1/2" and really fat! Due to all of the issues with people getting fish on the forum I will not attempt to catch the fish until you are at my house so don't expect to leave within a few mins..lol. I'm looking to get $45 for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoobtoSalt Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 Well suprise, suprise!!! Fish is off the market. It has a little case of Ich. Must have known I was trying to get rid of him..lol I think I'm done with tangs.. Not that they are bad fish but having to deal with Ich is just not part of what I want to mess with.. I will keep everyone posted when it gets better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dee77 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 is the ich gone i will give you 40 for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowman Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 80 is good, why would you want to make your tank hotter? I run mine at 77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 I was always under the impression that the warmer the water the less likely the bacteria stays in the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowman Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 heat is a major stresser for fish. That is why I try to keep my temp around 77. I hope you sell the fish. If he is still for sale next week, I will probably hit you up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoobtoSalt Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 My wife knows a lot... But that's because she is probably reading this....lol. Lowman I will keep you posted. Even with the ich he's a pig so I'm not worried about his health. I just want him to look good going into your tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 I never did adjust the water temp..lol It looks like it's just about done with Ich. Finally!!! So Lowman gets first dibs at the end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoobtoSalt Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 Ok so my last post got bumped from the layover of the site. I haven't heard from the person interested in a bit so I guess he's back up for sale. I'd like to get this and the two clowns and nem out of the tank in the same day if possible to I don't stress out the whole tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
