Moorish idol attempt

Been tempted on getting one, need to snipe one on scr next time someone is selling one

It's going on 2 1/2 months now that I've had this guy, colors look good-Yellow are bright, blacks are deep and no ich or anything on the fish. Streamer still hasn't grown, but the spine doesn't show. It's also starting to feed off of the LRS Reef Frenzy. The other day, I spilled a bit of it onto the front pane, and the MI was picking at the glass trying to get the food

Stupid Tapatalk.

Here's a shot of the fish eating rods food in addition to its diet of pellets, nori or grazer discs.

He also likes to pick on the foxface...namely biting it's spines and then swimming away.

Don't you worry about him getting poisoned from the Foxface spines?

No. He doesn't attack the fox. More like being an annoying pest haha

We had a rough time in the first couple weeks, with him taking an interest to all my acans and whatnot. But now, we've reached a compromise.

What's the compromise? Didn't know they would negotiate. Lol.

Scott got a "reef safe" one from another hobbyist that had it for a couple years... its still doing well but it ate approx. $2,000 in high end scolys and meat corals.

If anyone has a fish only I know he is looking to rehome it to a largish tank. Pm me I can give you his info if your interested.

Bump for a great informative thread!

Does anyone know how I could get a hold of John? I'd like to ask him a few questions on keeping his Moorish Idol.

Send him a PM. I'm sure he still lurks around here and there.

I tried, but there's no menu option for PM's.

Jesse says you're a Fish Whisperer, Kenny. Haha Do you have any tips on keeping my Moorish Idol?

babyjess210 · Jan 24, 2015

Don't believe everything you hear from Jesse. I ask Jesse questions about fish.
