    fox face food?

    I used the emerald entree it has lots of greens mixed in. I think also formula 2 frozen is greens as well. Mine would love to eat the alge sheets. Also if you have plenty of live rock he should pick at alge pretty much all day. I know thats how mine was.

    Everything is dead

    Yeah i guess I'm going to start over after i thought about it. I love this hobby despite the ups and downs that come with it. I have to leave my tank empty until the 22nd that would be 30 days. Do you think its long enough or should I just wait the full 6 weeks. Its not like i have fish...

    Foxface losing "yellow" color

    i know that if i don't feed the alge sheets almost everyday then mine will start to fade his color. I think that if they aren't getting enough greens they do that. I feed the emeral entree so it has a mixture of meat and greens and i feed alge sheets to him. I also use zoe for added nutrition.

    Foxface Rabbitfish - Unhappy and Hiding

    I would say the ph is def too high but also are the clowns picking on him? My clown fish i had the clarki clown and i had to get rid of him because he was stalking him and would ram into him and try to bite him. I would just make sure that is also not adding to the problem

    Emerald Crab and Star Fish

    My friends tank was crashing so i took her sandsifting starfish because that was all that was alive. I did think that was wierd because they don't do well with change. He went through my QT and he is doing good. I gave him supplemental food of different kind since i don't have sand in my tank...

    Is Foxface Reef Safe?

    I have one in my 75 gallon the yellow fox face and all i have is zoas and he hasn't touched any of them he has been in the tank for about a year and a half now. I have heard it depends on that particular fish some will and some wont. I'd start with some inexpensive corals and see how he does...

    Freshwater canister ok for saltwater

    I use the fluval 3 on mine and it also helps circulate the water. Once i get the correct amount of live rock however i am going to get rid of all the filters and just use the live rock for filtration and add more power heads. I have a 75 gallon by the way

    Min tank size for a foxface?

    Clarki Clown Compatibility Question

    Alright thanks! He just said that if i get 3 it will be more likely they will mate and not to fight and kill each other. But like you are saying it doesn't make much sense. They are all living in the same tank now. Maybe he was out to make a little more money i know the place is starting to...

    Clarki Clown Compatibility Question

    I have had the percs before and i know if they are not mated when you add two they will kill each other sometimes. These fish at the lfs are clarkii clowns and are captive bread he told me that i can add a few of them as long as i add three. I just wanted to double check on what he was telling...
