Moorish Idol Problems And Solutions

Moorish Idol Fish has been in this Saltwater Reef tank for almost 2 months. I had problems with him in the begining due to not getting along with other tank mates, and not eating. He is now fully aclimated and loves his new home. By NewYorkSteelo. www.newyorksteelo.com

WOW. Im not sure if its a good thing i found this video, Its like it gives me an excuse to add more fish to my 90 gallon.

@1i11i1 lol, I know the feeling, but if you don't have a similar setup and filtration as mines, I would advise against overstocking the tank like this. Good luck.

@newyorksteelo I am actually rebuilding my 90 gallon, to make a similar setup, THANKS to your videos! :)

@ithinkthisisit Sounds like fun.

Hey there, Beautiful tank and fish! I had a question, is your Moorish idol still alive and is there any other advice you can give me in caring for it.

Thanks

@ElectricBlues4life The Moorish Idol is still alive and kicking but now thriving in someone else's 180g system. I am not longer in the care of this fish. All in the info you need to know for me keeping it alive for more than a year is in the video. Thanks for the feedback.

@TropheusJon Its doable with plenty of hiding spaces and introduce all three at the same time. The tangs are easy to care for if you provide them with a safe and healthy environment. Good luck.

Amazing!!! I actually want stock the same 3 angel fish species you have together in a 75 gallon. Do you have any tips as to who goes first? Also, are powder blue tangs hard to keep? I was thinking 3 angels, powder blue and a clown fish in a 75 gallon.

@orcas134 Based on questions you've asked in the past, I gather that you are trying to keep these animals in a nano cube. The Coral Beauty being one of the more dominant fish should have been your last addition to the tank. Try feeding the Angel well to see if the aggression stops or find a way to separate them. If you can somehow place the Angel in another holding tank for 1 week or 2, while the Fairy Wrasse acclimates and regains its health and strength you may be able to pull it off.

I just bought a fairy wrasse and it is being picked on now by my coral beauty. What do I do? I can't by another tank to keep him in. Please help!!!!!!
