I fed the tank 15 mind ago, and was watching my tank, noticed this behavior from my hippo tang? Going to surface gulp a bubble and goes down



Is that normal? Or what’s going on?

Alk:9.2
Ph:8.21
Temp:77F
Mag:1356
Calc:466
Phosphate:0.20
Nitrate:13.6
 
He's feeding on a fleck of food that's floating... mine does this exact thing a million times a day until the waterline is clear of food
 
exactly the same behaviour here, mine goes to the surface too and gets some air that he releases on his way down, always after feeding...
 
Par for the course, just wait till he grows up and starts splashing everything.

Hippos are a really dumb fish to be honest lol normal behavior for them
 
Hippos actually make better decisions than most 14-19 yr old teenagers though
Oh no argument there lol I used to be a school officer!!
