foxface.....???

I've got a 130L Red sea max tank and was wondering if this could accomadate a foxface or not? I know they can grow quite big but just have this craving to get one as they look awesome. i currently have two occelaris and two yellow tail blue damsels, all of small size.
cheers.

 

Foxface

If you get a young foxface you should be alright for a few years mine started out at 3 inches in a 75 gallon about 2 years ago and now I have a 180 gal reef and he's still about only 4.5 inches they do get large but seem to grow a little on the slow side and when the time comes down the road he gets to large and you have a good relationship with your local pet store they may do a trade in for a smaller size hope this helps

no thats great. i think im definitely gonna get one;D. Are they fine with your other tank mates and invertebrates?

 

That's weird? Mine was the fastest growing fish I've had.
He went from 3-3.5 to 5.5-6 in about 5 months.
I had to get rid of mine cuz he started to nip corals.

 

how big waz your tank?

 

I have a 4.5 inch foxface lo in my 90g. while I have only had it a short time, most foxfaces don't grow that fast, or big.

In the wild the largest ones I have seen are only like 5-6 inches.

Some do eat coral, but most don't so watch out for that.

 

my one spot is a great fish. mines grown an inch in the 6 months ive had him. he close to 5 inches now. hes been peaceful, more shy than anything. id highly recommend one. good luck

 

Foxes usually totally disregard other fish, except maybe some Tangs. The real issue is, will the clowns leave it alone. In a FOWLR tank I had 2 and both lived about 3 years but went from 3 1/2" to 6" and 7" respectfully.

 

ive got both clowns and a tang. clowns leave the foxface alone , and the tang and him are now buddies. but all fish are different, just adding my experience.

 

Yes, it would be good in a tank that size. I had one for the longest time in a 55, but then I moved it to a 135. here is a link to the FOTM on Foxface's http://www.3reef.com/forums/fish-month/one-spot-foxface-rabbitfish-fotm-may-2009-a-64230.html

They get along with just about everyone, except other foxfaces.
