Moorish idol for sale

[wegotcrabs]

I have 2 moorish idols that are both fat and eating like pigs. They have been fighting a lot lately and I'm thinking of getting rid of one. $80 bucks to a good home

 

[DgenR8]

I have always wanted one. How long have you had him? What are they eating? I'm interested.

 

[wegotcrabs]

6 weeks. Eating raw clams and nori soaked in garlic. Competes for food w a Salfin, purple tang, and yellow tang. I can post videos of him eating if your interested

Are they eating any frozen foods?

 

[wegotcrabs]

No frozen. I really don't feed frozen so he might eat it. I feed fresh, nori, flakes, pellets

 

[DgenR8]

I was hoping that you had him longer, and I feed primarily frozen Mysis.
I think I'm going to pass.

Idols usually don't eat and die in the first week of captive life. These guys are 6 weeks old and eating great. They already put weight back on since I got them. They are not open water eaters and like to pick all day long. So most of them don't eat from the water column. after speaking w other guys they all say feeding nori enriched an vitamins and pellets is the way to go. I bought them thinking that they might pair up but I think I got to males. They aren't fighting as bad today and if they find some peace I'm not selling them. But if anyone is interested to be a back-up plan let me know.
