Small one is still a bit skinny, but loves pellets and fits tank better. Also not keen to rehome one to hear it died a week later. In hindsight, ordering a spare might not have been #1 smart idea.
Multiple MI aquariums is the answer

Yeah seems to me the issue is not enough idols :)

They're cheap, maybe I should get more??

Ah, this is now leading to MMITS - Multiple Moorish Idol Tank Syndrome


I'm telling you, this type of thing needs a vaccine

1 month anniversary, both fish doing well, getting along, eating almost everything. The thinner guy is filling in well, and fighting seems to have stopped. One eats pellets, not too fond of mysis, the other snarfs the mysis and doesn't touch pellets. Both eating nori and any fresh shellfish I add.

Overall, I'm starting to feel that these guys won't drop dead any moment.

Good stuff buddy. Are they getting along good? Is the myth of keeping them in pairs true or do they still fight?

Hard to say still. They have bouts of swatting, but nothing serious. But most people that complain of them fighting and eating things say it happens after a few months. I'll keep them paired as long as I can, hopefully they bond and live peacefully together.

Now that I think about it, I'm lucky with pairing. I have 2 pairs of talbots, a pair of clowns, a pair of cleaners and now these guys. The only fish not paired is a single talbots, which I'll try to find a potential mate for soon.

Oh, and a yellow tang. He's an ass.
