    I have an idea! Trade that one in for some money and buy a baby moorish idol and raise it till it gets too big! No loss there. :)

    LOL! Thanks.

    The Idol has issues with the Hydor Magnum Powerhead. Keeps Loosing his streamer when hes in his eating frenzy. No Worries though It always grows back.

    Another month down, still eating, still fat... success so far.

    For my first post in months, I will have to say Congrats! This is one of my favorite fish of all time. Although I have made some risky moves in this hobby, this is one step I have never taken. Look like risk has paid off for you! Great Job! By the way, if you got rid of that fish, it would be a shame.
