All the fish pictured are in my tank. The two new ones are the Emporer and the Sohal (1 of each). The other fish I have are Majestic Angel, Asfur Angel, Purple Tang, Achilles Tang, Moorish Idol, Blue Devil, Scooter Blenny, Mandarin, and Royal Gramma.

Beautiful fish! Full tank shot please.

As you may have noticed, my picture skills are truly awful. Partly because I use my cell phone, but mostly due to lack of skill and talent. Anyway, here is a full tank shot. It is a 240 gallon, 8'X2'X2', with a 60 gallon sump.

I used to have a lineatus, you can see it in my avatar. Sadly, it died a few months ago. The new tang is a Sohal.

How old is the Moorish Idol?

 

[pinnatus]

I've had it for 2 years in February. It has been a great fish!

That's really cool, what is it eating?

 

[pinnatus]

It eats anything and everything. I mostly feed it New Life Spectrum pellets, and sheets of Nori. Then I will throw in frozen food from time to time, especially Rod's food. If you don't give it Nori, the streamer will get short and not grow. Once you give it Nori, the streamer grows right back.

Feeding it has usually not been a problem. Occasionally it will stop eating for a few days, but if I throw some Rod's food in there, it will start back up and then go back to eating pellets and everything else. I think it just gets tired of only pellets after a while.
