I think that having them from Hawaii is definetly a plus, especially if they're fat and sassy to begin with. The last idol I had was just over a year old, I ended up moving and lost in the move. Never tried one since but I never had much problems to begin with, it ate from day one.
At any rate, good luck, third times a charm I've heard.

is anyone running a pool on this?

Kept one back in the mid-80s (yeah, feeling old) in a 108g FO tank with no live rock (what was that?) and no skimmer (same question). It ate everything I fed to my other fish, including pieces of shrimp, squid & smelts. Had it for almost a year until I sold it when I shut down that tank. Since the age of the Internet, I now have learned how hard these are to keep alive in captivity. Maybe ignorance is bliss after all.:lol:

i dont know about pool but i think there's a poll lol :P

Morning #2. No interest in Italian Mysis. Going to try blanched kale shortly, with a side of brine shrimp.

Both now eating some (food) clams, so it's a start.

Thats good news. How bout a pic

That's the same thing I did with Copperband. After my first disaster, I bought 2. They didn't touch any food after 10 days, now I got two both eating well.

Your Idols are looking Sassy! :mrgreen: Good luck with them Brad. Please let us know how you did. :biggrin:

Good to hear brad! I don't think providing them with a bit of purple nori throughout the day will hurt. Mine looked exactly like the skinny one you got before it started on nori and look at him now, huge!
