Mexican Moorish Idols

[Naraku]

Does anyone know where I can source Mexican idols.
I have heard they are much hardier.

There is speculation that they are a subspecies because some individuals have black dorsals.

Maybe their diet is also different from their indo pacific cousin because of different food availability.

I doubt they will be imported, but following along.

If one catches some on a trip to southern California.

Would that be illegal?

You would have to go to Mexico. Baja California is not in California. I would guess Mexico would be very lax when it comes to catching any sort of fish, but who knows. You're bigger issue I would think is getting it pass customs.
