    I have a 6 footer with tons of live rock and caves. I also stare at my tank for hours at a time so my fish get used to me pretty fast...lol Thanks for all the replies!

    My Hippo had ick the first few weeks I got him. I fed him lots of seaweed with garlic...it went away and came back numerous times. I have now had him for 2 years and he is one happy hippo!

    I have a tank raised one and it seems way more friendly and outgoing than my brothers wild caught one. Also, I have had to catch and move mine 3 times and it has also done well with it.

    how long has your brother had his? I have had mine for 2 years and he seems to be like yours now. I guess they can get "trained" to be in front of people and not shy?
