tang vs. foxface

[Asm481]

Probably the small temporary quarters. I have had several different tangs getting along swimmingly with foxface. In my current setup my scopas was in about 2 months before the foxface. The first day was a bit of chasing back and forth but today they swim side by each even rubbing cheeks at the nori clip. Space is key I believe.

My tomini and foxface get along pretty well. The foxface went in after the tomini, but was a bit larger. Today they are about 4" and 5" respectively so still a bit young, and are in a 120 so they have more space. However, much of the time they are hanging out near each other.

How far along on the 125?
Definatly put the tang in last!

Tank is Literally days old.

I would leave the foxface in the QT, then introduce both at the same time to the 125 when it's ready. They should be fine together in the 125.

Yeah I wouldn't attempt to keep those two together in a 40 even short term. Tangs can be very territorial to any fish with a similar diet.

Add the live rock from the breeder and your good to put them in.

Happy reefing.

Edit: if the live rock in the breeder can support the fish now in the 40 then they will in the 125. It's the bac count not the size of tank/water.

I have 2 yellows, a gem, a hippo, a two spot bristletooth, and a PBT and all get along famously with my foxy. My gem and the foxface would yell at each other when I first introduced the foxface to the tank. Now they eat off the tongs and the clip together. I do think your tank size is affecting behavior. Hopefully once you transfer to the 125 they’ll be great together.
