    Why does my Foxface make bubbles then chase them? Is this playing or does he need more oxygen? Just curious, he seems to bob at the top and make bubbles then chase them and pop them.

    Might be hungry and mistake the bubbles for food. :-/

    it's funny to watch it is like he gets bored or maybe that is just a way of him playing either way it's fun to watch. Is there a wat to tell if I have a male or female foxface?

    We got rid of the rabbitfish recently because it was getting big and turning into a food hog as a result. I'm glad it's gone but I kinda miss watching it "play" the way it did. I wonder if it's still doing that in its new home.

    No idea how to sex a foxface, sorry :(
