You scared me with that Foxface. Seemed to get close in the middle.

He’s pretty good with special awareness. Always at distance when he displays. Time to worry when he starts changing position tilting towards sideways. He hasn’t done that since we first got him. Foxface has really mellowed out over time not as skittish just let’s folks know it’s his first dibs on food.

Hey my fellow salt heads since Kole and Tammarin are coming in tomorrow figured drop a quick vid of hand feeding copper Band and foxface. @Katrina71 ya gotta get a Foxface mines like a puppy melts hearts ❤

Good video, Ray! Nice to hear Mrs. Ray in the background.

My guess is you had a few shots of Jameson before filming otherwise I don't think you'd be able to hold your hand that steady with the food!

You and me both! I have a Foxface and am nervous about handing feeding... I do not want to be on the receiving end from a hit by one.

I usually keep just fingers in water do he’s at a 45 degree angle and just finger tips are in water. Went deeper in for vid but feel comfortable with him. Not an every day occurrence

He does usually get a bite of food as soon as I break water just trying to get it to the glass cause he’s quite the pig and likes first dibs

Nice video also. Mine will come.close as I am getting the algae clip but I do keep a watchful eye. He looks like he has a personality like no other.

Thanks!
Foxface’s have great tank appeal always moving little neurotic it seems at times getting spooked by stray algae floating in WC pretty funny to watch em. My guy swims up and down in current under gyre 4 or 5 times then bolts to opposite side gyre to repeat. A top 5 fish for me.

Hello my friends The penultimate fish shipment arrived today! From nyaquatics got a Tammarin wrasse and a Kole tang. Both arrived in great shape and within a hour were swimming about and getting used to their new home. They Kole has fallen in with the CBB and Foxface while the wrasse is just doing his own thing. Only one pic of wrasse to share the Kole is moving to fast and still shy of anyone at the glass.
Hope to get more tonight.

Almost looks like a Betta in a wrasses body, love it!

Good looking wrasse Ray, nice additions.
