Tang or Foxface?

[Marshall O]

Do you have zoas? If so, I wouldn't recommend the foxface or any other rabbits.

Its a risk, but when kept well fed, they should not be a problem with Zoas. I have lots of Zoas in with my Magnificent. No issues at all. Of course each fish is different. Some Tangs will nip or destroy corals...

you can always get small tangs and grow them....by then you will upgrade to a bigger tank anyway......:tongue:

Hope you were kidding...this almost never works out. Only buy fish that you can house into adulthood in the tank you are putting them in IMO.

My magnificent out swam all my fish but my one spot bearly swims at all. The magnificent ended up dying I believe of old age. He was about 10" and I had him for 8 years got him from a guy who had him for a couple years before me.

I am never going to upgrade tanks for at least ten years. :P and so if I could either get a kole tang or a one spot fox face and either one should be fine?

I think if you have less rock work you could do both.

My rabbitfish ate my green striped mushroom and would pick on all other corals. :-( nibbled hole and ate the tops off my Xinea.

Eh, I would stick to one or the other. I do think either should be fine though.

Even the best well fed animals get a taste for dessert.
