tang in a 75

[painfullycurious88]

I've decided I'm going to add a yellow mimic tang to my 75 gallon. About a month ago I learned the hard lessons of losing a fish to sickness, and how quickly that can come on. I'm planning to do this smartly. My tank has been arranged where one half is built up with caves, and crevices that a mimic could easily hide/live in, and the other half is opened up for moderate light coral. There is a 'swimming corridor' as I call it along the entire 48 inches of the aquarium of about 6 inches clear from the bottom to the top with a ton of swimming room around the tank.

The tankmates: 2 occy clownfish, 1 melanus wrasse, 1, sleeper goby.

This fish will be the last fish added to this tank.

Don't forget to take the fifth when on the stand and in the end take the plea deal.

Did you QT the tang? If not that's a good way to learn another hard lesson.

It was kept in copper and hyposalinty for several weeks prior to introduction to my tank with no signs of parasite/sickness.

Sounds like you have it under control. Enjoy the new tang!

I'm in the process of adding a couple of cave areas in case there is ever an issue with the wrasse and the tang sharing an area. I'm doing this in a way that doesn't limit the swimming space for the future, but expands the area for coral & hiding.

I have a hippo in a 30 gallon. Shes 3/4 of an inch. Full disclosure I had to pick up some filter floss for my wife's tank, they had a blue hippo with ich, not moving, felt absolutely terrible. So I took it home, treated her, and now she's living happily in my wife's 30 until she's ready to go into my tank.

Not going to lie was expecting a public lynching. Thoroughly disappointed here.
