Moorish Idols

Im looking at getting a Moorish Idol but am kind of hesitant. I heard that they adapt very difficultly. I have a 55g tank, and don't really know if that is enough due to the nature of the fish and its adaptability. If you have any suggestions or anyone who has had one in a tank of that size with success, please respond back. I'd appreciate it. Thanks

You can get one, but i can garentee its going to die. They should not even be sold b/c they dont live long in a tank. please dont get one. They are VERY hard. Leave them be and swim in the ocean.

i agree with lionfish on this, way to risky. They are not a cheap fish and when they die, and believe me it will die, you will feel bad.
