blue hippo tang

[TRe]

ok i got a blue hippo tang like a week and a half ago... every night she kinda lays on her side at night
(about bed time) i know in finding nemo dory (the blue hippo tang) plays dead wich is what this fish seems to be doing.. (the first few times i thought she was dead)) is this normal?... besides that this tank seems pefectly fine... even when i get my 65 gallon i think ill keep this tank aswell... you can never have too many reef tanks.. atleast when there doing so well

some fish sleep on their side, im not sure about the blue tangs but if it is otherwise healthy i wouldnt worry

Sounds normal. You might find the logistics of having too many reef tanks comes back to bite in the 'backside' - one big tank is far easier to maintain than 4 little ones.

Its pretty normal for blue tangs...65 gallons might be on the small side for a blue.
