Foxface in 90g?

Longnose Hawkfish · Jan 18, 2015

I was wondering if a one spot foxface (Siganus unimaculatus) would be fine in a 93 gallon cube. The fish I have are a kole tang, orange spotted prawn goby, red head solan wrasse, carpenters flasher wrasse, melanarus wrasse, and two clowns. Would it be ok to add one or should I pass? I plan to add a leopard wrasse and maybe another wrasse or some cardinals. Thanks!

Did you decide to wait on the wrasse? I got mine today and a pair of black ice clowns.

I waited but told the store if it starts eating to call me.

I have a magnificent in a standard 90 and he seems ok but I plan an upgrade soon.

Aggression should not be an issue. Foxfaces do get large, but ultimately should be fine in a 93g.

There more like cows than they are race horses anyways. Lol. Mine just wanders slowly around trying to stay out of the way of my purple tang.

I recently re-homed a Foxface Lo to a 210. He grew to over 7 inches in 2-3 years time, and just looked to always be "in the way" in my 5 ft 150 gal. Looked much happier in the 210 gal.

I might try and get a really small one for my tank. Hopefully everything works out.

I think you will be fine.

I think a 93g cube will be fine. If you start him small he might take a little longer to grow with the tank restrictions of the cube.

He'll be okay, I have one in a 90 and he's the biggest chicken ever. Took him about a week to come out and eat with the other fish.

Well I got one from divers den Thursday and it came in today. My kole tang tried to fight him and now it's leaving him alone. I'll post a pic tomorrow when my lights are on.
