I just realized ... I don’t have any recent pictures of the yellow belly hippo

I'm assuming all of these tangs are in 40 gallon aquariums

I am tempted to get a scopas! How does it get along with your purple?

The boss:

That has got to be one of the best looking Scopas I have seen! Good job!

+1

99% of Scopas look washed out or so black thst they disappear among the coral.

This one is the 1 in a 1000 with perfect pigmentation. Wow

Are they similar in size to a yellow or purple ?

Are they similar in size to a yellow or purple ?

Yellow tangs get about 8 inches, Purples 9 inches & Scopas up to 12inches - However I have never seen one this size in the home aquarium

There was a little aggression at first, but that died down quickly with additional rock/changed scape and the placement of a mirror. They were fine for 6 weeks, but then I had to treat them for gill flukes and I think the irritation of the medicine making the worms spasm in their gills has caused some aggression again (towards all tank mates, not just each other). Put the mirror back and they leave each other and everyone else alone! I’d suggest an acclimation box and changing the scape. I also have some macro growing in my DT they like, and I add nori to two spots in the tank every day. Keeping them fat and happy helps! Keep in mind I’m less than a year into this and this has just been my experience.
