Hmm a very delicate fish as it is prone to disease and a poor shipper too.... DOA very high.... Seem that those from bali come in better condition be it finnage or overall fish condition.... Moorish idol are very picky feeder, most seem to accept pellet food first rather than shrimp stuffs....

Hey bro WL show some pic leh :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Geographical variation is possible. Polymorphism (variation in color) can occur in the same species...especially if populations of the same species are rather isolated from one another.

Always something more important than fish.

keeping moorish idol is like a gamble it either dies or survive in your tnak..n try to feed it with sponges

Thanks... mine was bought from a reefer here.... lasted 3months in his tank... just placed it in my tank yesterday, and today got white spots ... it's really difficult as it stresses easily... need help on how to de-stress the idol... :(

Try feeding the food.

I weaned mine onto pellets after the cycle on my food.

It was with me for three months until it became too fat and got stuck between my rocks and by the time I discovered it... :cry2::cry2::cry2:

The stomach was flattened in the middle exactly like how the contours of the rocks are... :cry2::cry2::cry2:
