flame and foxface?

[adio_54]

will a Flame Angelfish and a foxface get along?

I don't think you will have any problem as long as you have a large tank.

I dont see any reason. Do you like the flame over a coral beauty. This would be a good Angel if you need a calm fish.

I have both a flame and foxface in my 55 and they get along fine. Actually they spend a good portion of their day swimming next to eachother, picking at the same rocks, etc.

sorry for the thread hijack, but why's that?

because a foxface should NEVER be housed in a 55 gallon tank..they get wayy to large..
if hes small and you plan to upgrade no big deal, but hopefully he isnt over 3 inches in that 55

Gotcha. I thought you were implying that for some reason it was bad that it was hanging out with the flame angel or for some reason him picking at rocks was a sign he needed out of the tank.
I'm not worried about the size right now. I'm an ISU student planning on graduating in May. I can't have any larger of a tank in my dorm. (In fact I got in all sorts of trouble over my 55, apparently 30 is the limit) Anyways, my ultimate plan for summer is to setup a larger semi-aggressive tank. Right now I'm thinking 210g, then I'd turn my current 55 into a reef tank.
I bought the foxface now to give it a headstart on growing. I want to make sure it'd be able to hold its own against some of the slightly more aggressive species. I bet it measures in right about 3 inches right now. If my plans change I'll make sure the foxface finds a proper large home; after living in the dorms for four years I like to think I can sympathize with being trapped in a small environment.
Anyways, Adio, sorry for the hijack, but to answer your question: In my experience keeping a foxface and flame has been absolutly no problem. But since my foxface is still small I can't speak for its temperment when it gets larger.
