Centropyge bispinosa Центропіг біспіноза - i think this guy would be perfect... its an dwarf angelfish and will do fine in a 200l. They are also very pretty, and likes to pick at rock, although its not a full algae grazer like a foxface is.

But they can get mean later on if they declare the tank theres, so its recommended as one of the last fishes you put inside your tank.

Yeeah, that is what i just wanted to ask about urchin- isn't it going to die if there is lack of greens. Or he can eat even as large as caulerpa

Urchins will eat everything green red brown purple.

FoxFace need a good amount of horizontal swimming room. Your tank doesn't provide that.

Can you find this guy at a different fish store?

Salarias fasciatus - собачка водоростеїд

This guy eats algae like a foxface.
Unfortunately, that's the one who sells again fish in country after the war started. As i mentioned- lower hobby popularity maybe + shipment costs and faults
https://mrn.com.ua/ua/morskie-ryby/ -main
https://aquasmile.com.ua/uk/shop/category/morski-tvarini/morska-riba/ -pure stock with few fishes on 1st page
also snails maybe: https://aquasmile.com.ua/uk/shop/category/morski-tvarini/inshi-morski-bezkhrebetni/
I think i have also one telegram channel, but i dont know who are those "sellers" and where are they located

I'm looking for my first fish. Now i have not so much variety in shops cause of war and difficulties with non-air shipment, so my eye fell on "in stock" siganus vulpinus.
It atracted me with +- reasonable price, beauty and MOST IMPORTAINT - IT WILL EAT MY ALGAE.
Dimentions: 75x45x55h in santimeters.
Yeah, i know that the bigger the better, but there is no other choices... Someone says from 200, someone 300... but i want to know how much "NO" in my situation...

This is my 75 gal tank. The foxface started off tiny and has now been there 1 1/2 years.

It is already getting too big for the tank because all the coral grow and take up swimming space as well, so I will have to rehome him in the next few months.

In your size tank I'd start with fish that do not grow so fast.

Dwarf angels can live for a long time if you take care good care of them.

They eat a mixed diet of both meaty stuff like mysis + flakes + pellets + spiralina flakes.
They will also pick at rocks from time to time to eat copepods if you have any, and some algae.

Some of them learn bad habbits and may eat corals, but they usually only do that if they aren't fed enough, or they started having a taste for that coral.

I was about urchin, but that one is a informative too). Now i have same urchin in 2 shops, but somehow it's with different appearance: one with spikes, other with tentacles, which one is better? I only know that tentacle one can be dressed with cool 3d printed hats)

I think that's a good match for first fish in appearance and price. Later would order it...
