I already have a One Spot Foxface. Do you think it would be bad to add a Two Barred Rabbit Fish? the tank is 5ft long and 125g.
 
I added a Scribbled Rabbitfish to my 120gal with an established One Spot Foxface with no real issues.
Something else to consider is what other fish you have in the tank. Rabbitfish tend to be shy until they feel confident enough with the other tank mates. If they get harassed, the will stay hidden. You will want to make sure that the fish gets something to eat. Once confident, they will stand up for themselves and be a great addition to your tank.
That's my experience.

Thanks for the feedback. The local Petco has had the same fish for a few months now and he looks great and feel sorry for him living in that small tank and plus I think it is a great looking fish. If it is still there the next time I go back, I may just bring it home.
