I have had a female (I believe) for approx 5 weeks. She is in QT, seeded with liverock and sand from our DT. She is doing really well eating frozen brine. She is pretty small about 1 1/2 inches. I am having troubles finding a lot of info on the Morley and I am wondering if anyone knows how big she will get. I am pretty shocked at the price everyone is saying, I think I paid like $40 for her.she is very beautiful but the biggest chicken I have ever met.

Old thread revival! I'm totally in on this fun!

I had one too. He was in my Biocube. He was awesome. He was way cooler than the other fishes and was so rare that none of the other fishes had ever heard of him - an aquatic hipster if you will.

He was majestic. In fact, so majestic he felt that he should rule skies as well as the sea, and being a fish hipster he felt he was too cool for the water because everyone else was doing it... so one day he took off for open air, a flying streak of brilliant red light like one of Zeus' lightning bolts thrown from heaven. He flew through the air with all the majesty of a bald eagle!

...Then SPLAT! he crashed right into the fish guard I had put in place to prevent his escape into the dark, pump impeller-infested waters of the dreaded rear chamber. But, like I said, this fish was majestic... so majestic that through sheer will he rejected the notion of returning to his former life in the water and instead levitated like a fishy reverse-Jesus who could walk on air instead of water (read: stuck to the fish guard employed specifically to prevent his untimely demise)...

...and there he remained plastered to the fish guard, his holy body slime keeping him firmly secured in a cruciform position several inches above the water where... he sadly died a slow, ironic death like the fish-hipster he was...

RIP, you beautiful bastard

Same story here - had two. After about two weeks of trying to get them to eat (they didn't even want to eat pods it seemed at first) they both jumped through an opening of about only one inch. I liked them so much I went and bought 2 more. Same thing again. So as beautiful as they are, I will never try keeping them again.

I have a red male scooter blennie rehomed to me from Gregg. Gregg you'll be happy to know "Chico" is now eating 5mm pellets along with Mysis and of course pods. He's fattening up and looking great, flies his dorsal all the time. I'll try and get a picture of him and post it.

You must have lots of pods available with all the females, are they trained onto Mysis or pellets, what size tank?
