    I have a 55 gallon display tank, would this be enough volume for a bicolor foxface.

    I believe there are two different kinds of foxface. One that has the black spot on its back (which gets much larger) and the one that does not. May be wrong on this one, but have heard this and have seen quite a few small ones without the dots and the larger ones with the dots. I still would recommend a 75 as they are quite like tangs. I have one with the black dot and he is about 5.5" or so.

    well i found one that i really like hes like id say 3.5 inches or so. Its a bicolor so its body is brown and the tail fin is yellow. I will just wait till i get the tank from my dads house to get one.
