4 inches, and how long have you had him? They grow fast when fed properly and have the proper sized tank to swim in.Some may disagree with this, but tang size directly proportional to tank size. Sure hippos get big, but mine is in a 4 foot tank, fat and happy, and has been for quite some time. She is maybe 4 inches.

My Hippo is 8" and is in an 8' long tank, he is fed every day.
I feed mine 2-3 times a day and had him for 2 or 3 months. My first hippo spent 22 years in a 75. Lost him in a tank crash. And that was back in the air driven skimmer, under gravel filter days.
My sister dumped a bottle of flinstones chewables in the tank. Nuked my 15 gal with a mating pair of mandarins, and the lion tank. All because one fish had ich and she wanted to make them feel better
Wow this thread was very informal for me. I have 125 gallon and 7ft and wasn't sure many tangs I can place in my tank. I'm still going to do a little bit more researching.
You have a 7' long 125? What is the width and height? Never heard of that size tank (usually 125's are 6' long x 18" wide).
Sorry about that I meant to write 6 ft long.
I have a 9" sail fin, a 5" blue and a 4" yellow eye in my 110. I would recommend at least a 150 gallon. All mine are very happy but probably a bit much for my tank...
