Is this true, 2-4 year lifespan in the WILD???

Very cool looking fish, probably my favorite looking fish of all. Keep us up to date, it so tempting.

Is it the yellow one?
Just kidding... Nice I wish you and the moorish the best of luck.

Hello

I am curious on the status of your Idol. Is it still alive and well? If you are able to keep it alive, eating and thriving, you have just crushed a myth that they are impossible spieces for home aquarium. I believe it is due to the type of diet that they require. In public aquariums I see them all over the place (Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta for an example). DP
