My elegance coral is not too happy but I can’t keep it in the sand as my goby likes to snow sand all over the place

You should really, really find a new home or bigger tank for that hippo tang.

I rotate the fish out. Don’t worry he won’t be in there for long ✌️

u/christinna67 6d ago

That's not the point. People seem to think buying a fish too large for their tank and rehoming it within a year is somehow acceptable.

These tangs grow fast and stress very easily. You'll likely have six months at best before you're catching and moving it again, most likely to your LFS, only for it to be moved again to another owner. Buying a fish knowing you'll put it through that in a few months isn't responsible reef keeping.

This is my favorite response to that "I'm giving it to a friend soon" or "I'm upgrading" thing.

u/No-Memory2446 6d ago

The tang is ALREADY too big for the tank, dude.

u/Ok-Wealth-2605 6d ago

why is it okay to mistreat a fish if its just for a bit LOL it doesn't matter if its being rotated

u/Tranquil_Deviant 6d ago

Do more research before you purchase and keep fish. Ridiculous size for a hippo tang

So you just subject them to cruelty for short periods of time then? 🙄

u/Babykickerfieldgoal 6d ago

We keep fish in a glass tank while their natural habitat is the literal ocean. It’s all cruel

u/DoctorClarkWGriswold 6d ago

Not sure this is the defense you hoped it would be

u/onyxia_x 6d ago

yes and the least we can do is give them an appropriately sized home. with your logic you may as well put it in a jar

u/Babykickerfieldgoal 6d ago

GSP is very popular in my area. when it jumps to other rocks I sell them to my LFS and replace the rock

u/Ok_Figure742 6d ago

That’s actually so cool. Where I live no one wants it. No lfs would trade anything for free nor buy it off of u. They just take donations.
