So as stated heres the new thread,hope eveyone enjoys.
There is pics. in the other thread about ny aquatics,and I will update with new pics. in this thread as time goes by.
calaxa,heres your answer:
The fish are all currently eating mysis,nori,spectrum pellet and spectrum flake.
Since they are in a QT system I'm only leaving leaving the nori hang for about 1hr. per day,the key to these fish in my opionion are:
1.The origin of where they are from,the idols are hawaii where they net collect and the regal is red-sea again net collection.Unlike the idols and regals from bali they have never seen poison in the water for collection reasons.I had both from bali the regals have the blue/silver belly and throat and the idols have a different pattern on the snout/face it seems to be the lines are broken not solid yes they will eat but usually don't last too long,and number 2
You have to start with HEALTY livestock which I have always gotten from mike.
If anyone remembers I think it was nick (nyfireman) on here had video of his idol from mike ripping up food in his system,I also need to add if mikes livestock and shipping wasn't AWSOME these fish would not have survived the shipping since I had them shipped when the temps in my area were in the single digits.
