Once established no problems. Seems capture/shipping has a lot to do with it, especially powders and hippos. Heard every tank has and will always have crypto irritans at some level, it's how the fish and their immune system can handle it. What do you think?
Can't stress enough, watch for ich....I've been battling tangs and ich for years. Matter of fact I have a hippo in hypo salinity treatment now. With tangs,def have a quarantine/hospital tank ready.
Absolutely normal for this fish to hide,play dead, and to squeeze onto the craziest places. Just watch for ich, they seem to be sensitive. They are omnivores and should be feed both greens and proteins.... Mine like formula pellets.
Good luck.
