Has anyone had any success keeping a rabbitfish and a foxface together? I have a 240 gallon and would introduce to the tank at the same time and both are around 3". Is this just a disaster waiting to happen? Looking at a magnificent foxface and a scribbled rabbitfish.
 
I've seen it work lots of times and in your size tank I think there is a good chance of success. A lfs near me tends to always put all their rabbitfish in one tank when they arrive and although it's lfs conditions, they tend to do well together. The potential issue is when they mature but those two aren't known for their aggressiveness and scribbled tend to be gentle giants.
Like everything, have a plan b but I think it is worth the risk, especially if you have tangs and other large fish to distract them.
