A couple of years ago I to keep a moorish idol in my 125g. After a couple of weeks it was doing great and i was on top of the world. Then one day after work I came home to find it sucked to the powerhead. Well the time has come for me to try it again. I happened to find one at a LFS in the area that was a great price and figured "Hey why not? After all The Achilles is doing good."
I've actually have had pretty good luck in the past couple of years w/ harder to keep speices. Then again, I too have failed many times, but I have learned something new everytime I loose a fish. Like with my first Moorish Idol, "No 802's in the tank with it" Now, I never said it was some great and brillant idea but it was something. The one I got is about, 2-1/2" and isn't shy at all. The guy at the LFS showed me that it would eat brine shrimp and it was healthy looking. So I took it home and i'm using water from my reef in its tank and I'm doing 20% water changes 3 times a week. Well its been a Couple of weeks now and its doing great. I've actually gotten it to eat flake food, YES FLAKE FOOD. I rotate out foods twice a day. I will try to get some pick up so that ya'll can see it. And I will keep ya'll informed on how its doing.
