I had a yellow tang that was doing fine last night he was eating well and acting great but I came home today and he was swimming upside-down. I don't know how long he was like this because I didnt look at him this morning but after I saw him heonly made it a few more hours and then he died. Ive had him about 4 months with no problems and the water tests are great Any ideas thanks.

Will need more information like current stock feeding habits etc.

Also the actual numbers from your tests would be helpful as well.

They could be stressed from the tank size.

A yellow tang would actually be fine in a 4 ft tank, but that tank is so small for the hippo.
Also any signs of HLLE or malnutrition?

I would suggest to start feeding frozen mysis over a flake food... flake isn't that great for fishies :(
IT could have been stress from two tangs being in a 75 g tank... Any aggression shown from the clown? You could have a stray volt as well or maybe some internal parasites?

Bummer :( Sorry to hear, deep six. +1 everyone, though...could be anything. And if everyone else seems fine, it really just might be one of those unexplained things. Frozen is a better addition to their meals.

Sux,sorry to hear that..
But the hippo will have to be in a bigger tank ASAP
