    I have in the past, tried two blue hippos that were small. Both acted crazy and then died. I decided to try again because this was the fish that made me want to get into SW in the first place;D. I was at LFS and found this beauty.. As it turns out it was a yellow belly blue hippo. He said they were more rare is the reason it was 40.00. It is about 3.5 inches long and looks very healthy. That was a pretty good price right?

    $40.00? more rare thus higher price? that's the cheapest blue tang I've heard of. You got a great deal and a great fish. Two fish I'll always have in my tank, blue and yellow tangs.

    Yeah AV8, one of my LFS fintastic, charlotte sells great fish but they are really high. It would have probably been 150.00 there, or more! The other LFS I go to has really reasonable prices.
