Stressed Hippo Tang

Hi i have recently switched over from a 75 gallon tank to a 150 and my hippo tang is constantly hiding in between the cracks of the powerheads and wont move. Is this a sign of stress, sickness and will he survive?

Re: Stressed Hippo Tang

It is a sign of the fish being stressed. How long ago was the move?

Re: Stressed Hippo Tang

Yea, how long ago. He is most likely stressed from the move. Give him some time to adjust and get used to the new surroundings. It's just like adding a new fish to your tank, it's all new to them.

Hippos are notoriously shy anyway. Mine has been in my tank for about 2 years and is still jittery and shy. Though he does try his best to hang out with the others.
