I have fish that I have had for 4 years yet there are some that I cant seem to keep. Example: I bought a blue hippo from Aquatics around one month ago. Doing fine.... I really like this fish so I went to the Aquarium and got two more $ 40.00 each. They disappeared about 5 days later. I have 4 anemone and an eel so I thought well The one is fine maybe they were sick. I then saw some that looked very health at Bird World last weekend so I picked up 2 more. Well one is gone and the other got thin and died last night. Why do I have one fone & well and now 4 fish and 160 later..... What is up???  I thought this was a fairly easy fish to keep. Stressey but they are fed garlic and should be fine...

The one you have is quite small and to be honest when they are that size it is very difficult for them to aclimate to an aquarium.  If you are buying more of these tiny ones there is a very good chance they will die.  They seem to acclimate best to a tank when they added at about 2 1/2" to 3 1/2" rather than at  1".
