And I see that you're just letting them grow and not fragging them.......good for you man.

To what do you attribute the sudden growth spurt? Done anything different?

My friend, I am highly, I mean highly concerned about that Hippo Tang you have. We never talk about it much in this forum, but that Hippo is a known zoa polyp eater. I have even experienced it myself back in the day. Watched him swim up and pop off a head and believe me I kept him fed with alternative food. Others here and all over the net have experienced this as well. As much as I love surgeons ( Tangs ), I would never put one in with a tank full of zoas. Not telling you what to do by any means, just a heads up. Sooner or later, it may take a month or years, but they will decided to eat one and once they get the munchies, it's all over. Just keep a serious eye on him.
