Like the title says, [MENTION=2928]Tangwich[/MENTION] is a terrible influence when I try to talk myself out of buying crazy fish! I went to [MENTION=6560]oceanmarine[/MENTION] sales today to try my luck at another copperband and I saw a moorish idol in his quarantine. And get this.....it was EATING mysis AND pellets! So I give Jesse a ring for advice and he says to buy it! So I do. And now it's acclimating. This has been a crazy fish week to say the least...too many impulse buys.

Anyway, here's some pictures:

Oh man I'm super jealous. Such a nice fish. I hope it works out for you. [MENTION=2928]Tangwich[/MENTION] is horrible to ask about impulse buys though, you should know better

Good luck. Finding one that eats is a great start. That was what I did and it's still with me after 5 years.

Crap. I opened the acclimation box slightly to feed it some brine and it slipped out! My regal started going after it. So I turned off the lights for the night. Ugh. Gonna try to catch him tomorrow.

I notice the best time to catch my fish is like 5am when they are all asleep

They are docile.get punked by everything and will if you're lucky only slightly nip it all your corals..Good luck!!!!

my last attempt lasted 6 months and he was eating pellets. Took alot of training. then died for no apparent reason other than the possibility of the missing link in their food that they need but they get From sponges
