FarmerTy Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Nice! That's definitely an uphill battle to get them to eat! Well done! How'd you do it? Btw, the angelixir soak is supposed to work for moorish idols too. It worked wonders for my regal angelfish to get him to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, the angelixir soak is supposed to work for moorish idols too. It worked wonders for my regal angelfish to get him to eat. My regal eats pellets also so I got lucky on him also. All I do is turn off all water flow in the tank and dump a bunch of pellets in. Everything picks them off the ground and my Moorish started copying the other fish. I hang a smelt on a fish hook and they also pick it off the hook until there's nothing left but bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 My regal has been watching the tangs eat all day and doesn't care. Got a good pic of your regal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Very, very impressive! I'm glad you posted this for other aquarists info but I'm not going to admit success on your part 'till you've had it 5 years. For the newbies, please do not attempt a Moorish Idol until you've had a lot of experience. (And that Sailfin looks pretty stunted, are you sure it's in a long enough tank?! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonTheGuy Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Very nice that you got your other fish to teach the moorish idol, perhaps I will try getting my dry food and frozen brine shrimp eaters to do the same with a idol. Fyi I just bought a tank which had some fish one is a 5" female blue throat trigger she likes flake but will not touch shrimp meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoMa Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 He's been getting more aggressive and is now eating NLS pellets mostly. I can tell he's been gaining a bit more weight and getting pretty fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
