    Paid $90 for a pair of gold stripe marroon clowns and $60 for a blue hippo (and it had NO ICH so I figured that the 60 was worth it just for that!!)

    I paid $69 for a nice blue hippo tang that got Ich and took down my potter angel and royal gramma maybe two years ago. Since then i Only keep cheap fish. (rather spend money on coral, I'd like to see how much people paid for their coral.)

    Any pics of it? Do you have it in a reef tank by any chance? How long have you had it and have you had any probs with it? What size is it? Sorry for all the questions. After seeing some pics of them I want to get one, but I don't want it to destroy my reef tank, and I'm a little worried that it may get bullied by my Flame or Scribbled angels.

    i paid £80.00 at the time around $150 for a flame angel, when i came home from work he was gone! after much head scratching and searching standing on some steps i found him stiff as a board down the back of the tank, he had leaped out of a one inch gap where i dident close the lid properly and comited suicide.
