when good fish go bad

[Zerandise]

Well As some of you know I have a morish Idol that eats. He eat like mad. He eats everything I feed to him! I have had him for a few months now with no issues. He has even put on some tummy since I got him. bit of a potbelly now.

A couple weeks ago I got in some killer zoo's to add to my zoo collection. They cost a pretty penny and are amazing colors. He has been with zoo's since the first day I got him. three days ago he changed his mind. In the past 3 days he has eaten over 300 heads of zoo's. I thought I had the zoo eating nudi's but I was worg. I tried to catch him last night in the 180lbs of caves but with no luck. Tonight I guess I get to break down the tank and get him out.

seems he like red and purple zoo's more than blues and greens. I will take some pics and post the before and afters. Anyway just wanted to vent a bit.

Sorry to hear about your trials..... They may regenerate, as long as there is a bit of tissue left on the rock. Mine have come back when I though there was no chance. It took a while but they came back..

[Jason McK]

Oh crap that sucks, So what are you going to do with him if you catch it.

yeah I know they will come back. Its just a ****er watching $500 worth of zoo's go into a belly. Most of the rocks have more than one color morph on it. I know
I have lost at least 8 color morph. The remaining will come back with force. Its more the ripping down of the tank I must do tonight thats a bummer. That and having to get rid of my favorite fish.

Another day in "As the Reef turns."

That's too bad that you weren't aware of that before.

It's actually a well known fact that polyps and coral are part of their diet. Certainly not one of the best reef fish. For me, I just gave up on the zoos.

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Dang. That sucks. Hopefully you'll be able to recoup your losses.

Yeah I know emily. I normaly do alot of research on the items I put in my tank. sometimes now matter how much you read you make the bad choice

learning is the best part of the addiction! Anyway he will make someone a very fine fish. As long as they dont have anything thats on his new menu

Too bad they don't prefer the minty stuff like gsp

[Samw]

Yeah, they love Zoos, Moons, Hydnophora's and Candycanes. If I had a big tank, I'd keep the MI and get rid of the Zoos, Moons, Hydnophoras, and Candycanes. A tank with a MI that lives for years is impressive.

Put the Zoos in a Nano.
