My baby foxface!

aqualov3r · Aug 10, 2015

I have a baby foxface in my 55, he's just about 2 inches, he sometimes nibbles on the green nori seaweed sheets I provide for him as well as a frozen seaweed/brine mix I get at my LFS, is it normal for him not to eat that much right now? I've had him for about a month...he's not showing bones or anything but I wanna fatten him up and give him the right nutrients he needs to live long and happy :) any suggestions?

Which Foxface is it? Try a quality herbivore diet like LRS http://www.larrysreefservices.com/herbivore-frenzy.html

most rabbitfish are food hogs. my one spot would eat manure if I put it in the tank.

Our One Spot Foxface loves eating anything with algae; even bubble algae!
I feed the tank different blends of the LRS Frenzy foods and all of the fish go crazy for it.

Our foxface also started out small at 2" and is now about 5" long and ¾" thick after a couple of years.

I just picked up some purple seaweed at work, ill try that and see if he goes for it....he's been in the big tank for only a week, he just recently passed the QT phase so I think he's still acclimating to the big tank since he's so small :) he's still a lil baby, prob hasn't found his appetite maybe?
