Foxface?

[thedasher]

Hey guys I was wondering if I can add a small foxface to my tank. My tank is 125 gallons 6 foot long and currently has a kole tang, tomini tang, sailfin tang, and 3 chromis. Also planning on adding s pair of clowns. What do you guys think?

 

[fishroomlady]

I would say yes

They are a great addition to a tank, no robs with mine in a 6 footer - they are pigs mind

Mine killed my tomini. I added the foxface 3 weeks after the tomini. The foxface beat the crap out of him. Was dead in 3 hours. I added a naso 6 months later no problems.

Well my tomini is about 5" and I'm planning on getting a foxface that is about 1-2". Do you think that would work

Go for it! They are usually pretty peaceful, especially when they have a lot to eat. With a few exceptions obviously.
I'm adding one to my similar set up eventually

I have one with a tomini, orange shoulder, and yellow tang with no issues. Actually my orange shoulder was aggressive towards my foxface.

Thanks for all the input. Definitely getting one.

Had one in two different stocked tanks over the years and always awesome and peaceful. One of my favorites. They love nori and will eat most everything. Never picked on anything. I'm surprised to hear about an aggressive one. I wouldn't go smaller than 75 though. I've seen some huge foxfaces. Hardy too.

I have two of them one in a 120 and one in a 75 gal both are doing great

One lives with a Tomini and they are like paired up the other lives with a Scopas and they paired up I do know u cannot have two one spots in one tank

My Onespot Foxface and Tomini get along great in my 65. The Tomini charges him for a day or two but the Onespot never paid him any mind and now they are buddies. Great fish!

We love our Steelers fish. Have him a few months, no problems at all. 75 gallon tank. Haven't seen him torment any other fish. Not nipping at the frog spawn, Monti cap or Starburst.....

my Foxface with Tomini Tang....get along great

Do they eat bubble algae?

Do they eat bubble algae?

They're known to. Not all of them will, but it's likely it will. They're monsters when it comes to algae.

Mine ate Zoas

Mine ate Zoas

one of my favorite fish. I've had 3 through the years in various tanks and kept them with at least 2 tangs in each with no aggression issues. I'm a light feeder and the last one started eating softies so it had to go.

I've had my one spot for about 2 years now! Cracking fish! He did however kill my yellow tang. The yellow tang would follow him around everywhere and I think he might of spiked him by accident, as the next day the yellow tang looked stunned and wasn't moving much from the top of the tank, he died a few hours later. This was in a 4ft, so maybe the tank was too small.

I now have him in my 8ft and he's really chilled out and gets on fine with my naso, convict and 2 bar foxface
