Now that I had read up on the subject, I was eager to get a tank and start for myself. I went to several fish stores in the area looking for good deals, but I was always dissapointed with the prices.

One day, I was browsing classifieds and saw the following posting:

I live in Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood Florida area. Buyer will need to pick up at my home. I no longer have time to devote to the hobby. Looking for a good home for my Hippo Tang.
