nothing worse

So I decide last night to buy a hippo tang, it was small and I was worried, dripped the fish, put him in other fish left him alone, he was actually schooling with my 3 chromis, he ate when I fed the fish last night, wake up this mornighing and the actinics come on and no sign of him anywhere so he is a gonner, I hate when this happens!!!!

[robt18]

Maybe he found a little hole somewhere that's really comfortable and didn't want to get out of bed yet? I feel that way pretty much everyday :p with any luck he's still and and hiding...

Hope he turns up!

I personally found that Hippo tangs are the last one up. They do hide in between rocks very well.

[Papou]

If he was ok when lights went out and healthy hes fine mine only comes out after every one else
sence hes new he will hide more.

They love to slide flat in a crevice to sleep.

[Severum]

I agree with everyone. Blues come out last. Boy do they love to sleep. 4 years later I'm surprised my blue can still find a crevice to fit in.

[Darth]

well he hasnt been out all day, last night he was good swiming around and all, I will give it a few days maybe he will pop up (fingers crossed)

[Papou]

Very small blues will hide in the reef if for days if another fish harassed him at night while he was looking for a place to sleep.

[Darth]

that's what I don't get none of the other fish were bothering him at all and of course he could be anyway if still alive he was swimming out in the open yesterday and no issues *shrugs*

[Papou]

Any better

[Darth]

no I think its safe to say its gone =(

[veron]

I wouldn't give up yet.

[Darth]

thanks, I know there is a slight chance, so maybe a few more days 

[SWFan]

I got one last week as well but it was a sm.  Anyways, one of the days I woke up and couldnt find it. After looking carefully I found that it was stuck in between some of the rock work, I guess while trying to find a good place to sleep. Anyways after moving around the rock work, it was fine, so make sure you take a good look.

[bandit]

What's the outcome? Did he make it

[Darth]

no, I am led to believe he may have went sleep near one of the of 9 nems I have and may have become nem food, I still may get one later but a bit bigger than the last
