Baby hippos having high death rate.

I was wondering what the trick is to get these little hippos into one's aquarium. It seems like they have a higher death rate...

Can you explain what your trying to do more? Are you moving them from 75 gallon to a 29?

No. I do not have any hippo tangs now. I've read and talked to several people and they stated that they sometimes randomly die... Maybe it's the size?

QT and acclimate like any other fish. They do like places to hide.
