if you didn't cycle the tank, your tang (and anyother occupants) is going to be dead real soon. ckeck out the stickie on cycling. (sorry, couldn't get the link)
blue hippo tang
- Thread starter swimchica408
- Start date
Regardless of the tank size, your Tang will be dead soon if you don't move it; one week means your system has not cycled and the ammonia will destroy this animal. A hardy damsel would be better, even a dead shrimp will get things started, but you should have never been sold the hepatus, and the LFS where you bought it should have asked/provided you with better direction here. Please get a good book and make sure you understand the cycling procedure for new marine systems.swimchica408 said:
BBN, to answer your question, if you have other occupants in new tank, you should turn off the lights when you put the tang in. don't worry, it shouldn't be that big of a problem
Not to mention the $$$ one has to dunk to get a Blue Hippo. I paid $60 for mine but has been well worth the money. OK, anyone know the precautionary maesures I need to move mine to another tank?
Thanks Freddie. I was wondering. I'd sure hate to do something detrimental to the little guy after thriving nicely for 2 years. Wanting to give him a bigger home but hate to see him kill over after two years. Thanks again. That helped my anxiety. :bowing: :thm:
Tangs
To take care of the tang-in-the-10-gallon problem, you should probably do 40%-50% water changes every day! you could even add some Cycle or Bio Spira to add some nitrifiers to the mix.
How big is this fish currently?
Do you have a lettuce clip?

Hmmm... anyone else feel like someone's trolling for the tang police? Swimichica, my apologies if this post was genuine - and if it is, I recommend returning the tang (and scolding the LFS employee who sold it to you), and some serious research, quickly.
