I’ve keeps a couple over the last 20 years and contrary to popular opinion they aren’t terribly difficult fish.
The thing is that they burn through food insanely fast and needs to be feed at least 3-4 times a day.
Here’s my guy Fat Frank:
wow what a beautiful and healthy moorish. so i guess they burn through food like anthias? or maybe even more? i have some anthias in the tank.
will be feeding more nori then. they finish it very very fastThe trick for high metabolism omnivores such as idols is to supplement with Nori. They should be able to graze on nori for at least 1/2 the day, IME. Frozen foods are good, a couple of times per day. They really benefit from sponge (angel formula frozen is a good source of this). if you can get them eating flakes or pellets this can add calories, though normally not "quality" calories.
HAHAH i worded it wrongly ;PlayfulI would try to fatten the whole fish, not just the tips
