LARGE ANGELS... I am really sorry to hear that it just recently died , on you.Any fish that is nine years old,has an effect on you when it dies. I am certain that it is rare for anyone to have kept their Moorish Idol (s)as long as you have.I know they are a very likeable fish personality wise.
As far as pairing goes,I understand that identifying whether they are males or females is difficult.

I think it was a bacterial infection from a cut. There was a cut on the side that looked like it was from one of the tangs. I couldn't catch it to treat buy it looked like it was healing and closed up. Still eating like a pig. Then all of the sudden I see it between some rocks breathing hard and the area swollen and it was dead by the next morning.

I've never had a problem before and most of the fish have been together for a long time.

Ive had mine for just over a week and it is doing great, eating like a pig. I cant believe how fast its streamer is growing. I was just wondering in nature what the purpose of the streamer is? The only thing I could think of would possibly be a distraction for predators?
thanks Jeff |

Moorish Idol in wrasse dominated tank
Hi,
I've had my MI for 9 months and it's doubled in size. It feeds mostly on nori and a frozen rotation (with Selcon) of mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and LRS food. Mine won't touch pellets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQDBRunQO1I |

I've had my MI 8 weeks now. He is in the DT and eating food in the water column. I think he is going to make it!

...I tried to take pics too,and got the same blurred results.They won't stay in one place long enough to allow for pictures.They are very similar to the Energizer bunny.They do not stay still,24 hours a day,and sounds like some people have MI's,like mine, that eat like pigs.They must have an extremely high metabolism.I am going to feed mine now.
