New foxface and yelloe tang

Just added a one spot foxface and a yellow tang. Both are very pretty and active. They are both very shy tho. Added yesterday around 2pm. They have been eating all the hair algae off the back of my tank they swim around freely when no one is near tank but soon as i walk up they hide. Anyways, any tips about these guys?

 

Shy

For shy fish its best to put in some fish that stay out like blue green chromis. Tends to build their confidence.

 

Give them time, I would imagine you look enormous to them.

"runaway, the giant is coming" it won't be long before they work out that you are actually the "great God food in the sky" and come to the glass when you approach

 

yep my fox face hid alot when I first got him and will actually hide in the rock and change color to a black and white speckle color if you really scare him. looks cool ;D

now he is always ouy and will try to eat right out of my hand, but rember he has a toxic sting.

HTH and GL ;D

 

well! did not know he was toxic so thats a great piece of info! And yea my gf was freaking out when he turned colors. Pretty cool camo!

 

yes yes it is and it is the equivilant to a bee sting IIRC but I dont wanna try it.

 

Feed a lot of nori/seaweed, make sure they have a good diet (Very nutritious) I've seen many skinny/malnourished yellow tangs so make sure it's belly is always nice and fat ;D
Congrats!

 

Yea i have a clip. Give them half a sheet a day. And 1 block of misis/brine shrimp at night. Thera a+ pellets in morning. And then ocasionally nuvo ora and my mix of like 10 diff foods haha

 

my foxface is a pig along with the rest and I feed about the same lol

great looking fish again ;D
