Two rabbit fish?

[underwaterdan]

Can I keep a magnificent foxface and a scribbled rabbit fish together in the same tank?

IMO it depends on size of the tank, and when you introduce them...

Lets get some additional recommendations [HASHTAG]#reefsquad[/HASHTAG] @eatbreakfast

Sorry that info would be helpful. I have a 150. Had the foxface for about 3 weeks and the rabbit fish would be smaller than the magnificent foxface.

I would NOT do it in a 150, they are very peaceful species except when housed with other Rabbitfish.

Two rabbit in a 150 is asking fore trouble.
It can be done but both need to be small and introduced together at the same time after they have been in QT together in one tank.
Even so after a few years when the grow they might get the fox and rabbit game on.

If you are prepared to remove one you could try it. I have seen them housed together successfully in that size tank.

In a 150, they will grow up. Everything may be fine now until full grown, but my guess is they will fight once mature over territory and food. JMO

Although not a direct comparison, and for what it's worth, I had two one-spots together in a 120g. Everything was peaches and cream for about a year and a half. Then one day, one decided it was tired of its tank mate. I ended up having to remove the aggressor.

I would not recommend this. Although possible, it could end badly.

Two rabbitfish in the same tank usually ends with one dead rabbitfish (eventually). Unless it's a really large system.
