Foxface in 42g cube

[welshgazz]

Hey all, so my 175l cube is up and running, I have 3 fish in there atm a cardinal and pair of percula clowns, been in 2 weeks. There is a bit of hair algae as I'm getting phosphate under control so was thinking about adding a small foxface, knowing that it will outgrow the tank and I will have to re-home it. My ultimate stock list is :
2 clowns
1 cardinal
1 royal gramma
1 goby/pistil shrimp
1 dwarf angel
1 (open to recommendations please)

The foxface would be a year or 2.
Many thanks.

Lawnmower Blenny might be more appropriate for your needs.

I have a Foxface and they grow like weeds. Mine was about 2-1/2 when I got him just under a year ago and now is a 6" Monster.

Thanks. What about the stock list, anything you can recommend?

List looks fine to me. Could go with a sand sifting goby if you want. Some people like them, other say they're too messy with their sand movement. They do a good job keeping things clean and really only occupy the sand level of the water columns so no fighting for other space. I enjoy mine for the spectacle.

Do you have a CUC helping to eat the algae? If not, that would be your best option.
