I was just sleeping...
I was posting in another thread and not paying much attention here and I believe I added to the confusion.

He doesn't have one. He misunderstood that it was a giveaway on instagram.

Well it's that time where I get an entry into a drawing for updating my build thread.
So the only update I really have is that I've started really getting into gonis and I finally got a torch, I'm a little late on the torch fad.
Sorry the torch isn't very happy in the pic it was right after I added it to the tank.

Ok I guess I'll update again for another giveaway....I finally added a foxface to my display tank after keeping it in qt for several months. I'm honestly not sure how long because I forgot when I bought it.
It's been in the display for around a week and it has finally settled in and isn't terrified when any other fish gets near it. My purple tang was initially aggressive towards it but even that seems to have stopped.
Today was the first day that I saw it aggressively eat with the other fish. Before today it would hide and only dart out of hiding to get a quick bite, but today it was the first to the top of the tank to get the food.

I'm considering a Gold Lined Rabbitfish. I don't think my tank is big enough for 2 tangs and I have a Tomini. I can basically get a Gold Lined Rabbitfish for free if I pay shipping ($35).Ok I guess I'll update again for another giveaway....I finally added a foxface to my display tank after keeping it in qt for several months.

Be aware that rabbitfish and tangs are very closely related and that even bristletooths can be territorial. And the goldlines get BIG (over a foot) so if you don't have room for another tang, you might not have room for a rabbit either.I'm considering a Gold Lined Rabbitfish.

That gift card you had from algea barn? I like some of the rabbitfish but I was always afraid of them nipping at corals. There is a chance with the foxface too, but from what I understand if well fed it's a fairly low risk.I'm considering a Gold Lined Rabbitfish.

ETA- wait the gift card was Biota wasn't it?

Wow the Gold Lined rabbit fish is on sale for $38, I couldn't even buy one from a local pet store for that price. Still not worth the risk IMO, and besides I can't anyway because I've added the foxface.

I think Siganus lineatus is the one he is considering

I never considered seriously getting one, but I didn't even realize any rabbitfish got that big.

Because he is considering a fish that can potentially get that size but not a tang due to its potential size.
