Re: Fox Face Rabbit Fish
You will definately have algae in it( not being smart) it seems to be one of the last steps in new tank syndrom to get a hair algae outbreak, right after the diatoms and cyano.

Re: Fox Face Rabbit Fish
they are easy to keep as long as they stay eating and fat. It seems that once they start to get skinny from lack of algae, their decline is fast and furious leading to death in a matter of days. BTW, their spines do hurt like crazy when they sting you. Just be careful and you will love him. I actually think a magnificent foxface in your tank would look cool...

Re: Fox Face Rabbit Fish
so when your algae is depleted you pretty much have to return it to a LFS or can you get it to keep living happily on seaweed and other food?

Re: Fox Face Rabbit Fish
A lot of people have them and keep them happy with algae sheets. The magnificent is my favorite of the group as well

Re: Fox Face Rabbit Fish
algae works to keep them happy and emerald entrée as well. They do need some every day which is what tends to end their lives prematurly in our tanks. They dont get enough often enough.
Btw, Ryan... You are dead on with that magnificent. It gets a bit larger than the one-spot and the rusty-red on it is so cool! -Doc Current Aquarium(s) Description: 210 gal "Shark Reef" With Angelfish and 90 gal reef tank Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: long enough to know I have a lot to learn

Re: Fox Face Rabbit Fish
They eat the same things as tangs, so you can keep them just fine if your tank is algae free.

Re: Fox Face Rabbit Fish
I have one plus two tangs in my tank. I give them algae sheets twice a day plus emarald entree. They're all pigs. Always picking at the rock.
