My Moorish idol's one week on.

Have had my Moorish idols for just over a week, both are eating well

6x2x2

Are they nipping any corals?

Francesca · Apr 4, 2016

No they are eating most food that enters the tank, but they have started fighting each other. Put one in the sump for 3 days but still fighting when put him back in tank. Might sell one of them

Where and How much did you purchase him for? I'm clueless as to prices on them.

Francesca · Apr 4, 2016

£180 the pair

I love modish Idols. Happy to here that they are eating well but I am sorry that they are fighting

Beautiful fish!

Do you think a single idol would be ok in a 4ft tank. Im in the process of setting my system up and this fish is near the top of my wishlist, but ive heard they need 120g +. My display tank is 48"x13"x23"

Reef or Fish Only?

Hi I would only put a Moorish idol in a tank that has been set up for at least a year and has stable water conditions.

Are these guys reef safe?

After a bit more research I think I'll wait until i can upgrade to a larger tank in the future. I want every chance for the fish to survive, and dont want added stress from a small tank.
