Also, the tank should be established for at least 6 months minimum for an idol. I put them up there with mandarins as far as difficulty in feeding.
Can i get some real info on a morish idol?

Yes i'm sorry to say that you clearly have never done any research on keeping marine fish.
Your 40 gallon would be big enough to keep a dwarf angle but no bigger fish than that. Your fish will all die soon. I'm sorry to be so blunt but it's true. Please, Please return or sell your fish and start with your damsels. If your not into water changes than the aquarium life in general is not for you

Well said Justin

Moorish Idols need a fully established reef tank to survive. The water quality has to be perfect. Also, the Idol should not be housed with a Koran. Koran's are very aggressive. I don't have a Moorish Idol because I don't have a reef tank. But I have a fish that looks like a Moorish Idol,but it is alot easier to take care of and will eat anything. I have a Red Sea Bannerfish.
I clicked on this thread because I was really curious about someone who was experienced enough to keep a moorish idol and had a setup for them.
I enjoy seeing setups that I can nether afford ( I live in affortable housing) nor have the experience to keep myself, which is why I joined this board.
Hmm...I know more about moorish idols then the poster.
I know moorish idols are very cleaver fish and they are fond of having clown fish as tankmates. They will leap out of the tank at every oppertunity and are always plotting ways to escape back to the ocean. You must be careful when the moorish idol leaps out of the tank to avoid leaving scalpals or other sharp objects laying around or you may have a permanently injured moorish idol.
If a low maintence tank is desired, why overstock?. Why get a very difficult to keep fish?.
I hope the poster finds another home for this moorish idol.
PS: I love finding Nemo and that moorish idol...don't kill "Gil" ok?.
"Gil" belongs in the ocean or in the hands of aquarists who can provide the right tank conditions. Enjoy moorish idols at the public aquarium. Peace.

That is hilarious. I have kept a moorish idol in a public aquarium that was filled with all of the fish from Nemo. I hear that this aquarium recently changed its name from The Living Seas to Nemo and friends at the Living Seas. I am so over the whole Nemo thing. I wish the aquarium I worked at now would take down it's Nemo tank. We don't have a moorish idol though, we have a bannerfish instead.
fwiw, I don't think that you should have the tang or angel in that tank. It's not good for them and if you don't like doing water changes those aren't the fish for you. Damsels maybe? If you are interested in learning about how to keep your fish let us know we would be greatly pleased to help you. At this point though I'm locking this thread you may not have had any bad intentions but, at this point this is pretty much trolling.
