Post tips on how to keep Moorish Idols

If they don't sell, they'll stop collecting them. This business model is a "pull" model. Customers pull what they want. Supply and demand.

Not saying you should stop, but it is my opinion that 99/100 this fish should be left in the ocean.

Doesn't mean it's the right opinion. I bought one, I'm no better lol

@3FordFamily, I think you should put one of these in one of your future 10' tanks. Lol
These are awesome!

Have you ever kept a mandarin? The most colorful fish.

They are super friendly though. The Elos store over here had one that would turn on its side because it wanted you to pet him. Awesome fish, but grow so fast.

He said the unicorn fish lays on its side so you can pet him.

No way. Even if I had a 20 foot tank I would rather have other fish.

Id love to get one, once (whenever) we decide to buy a new house and I get my 12 footer in the basement.

That's wonderful, who wouldn't want a fish you can pet. Like a puppy.

Someone who is shallow like me! I like color and patterns. I'll glue a horn on a hippo tang!

Its funny, he really did that. It was a customers fish that they had to bring back because it rapidly outgrew his tank.

Now thats one fish I will never get...a hippo tang, unless I find a mostly all black one or all blue morph.

@Humblefish @melypr1985
Would you want a super huge fish that wanted you to pet him?

That fish just sounds so cool, I would built him a new home if he was mine and I had the money.

I have been attracted to a hippo, maybe it's because of finding Nemo and Dory. Idk
