I am researching the possibility of adding FoxFace to my 75G.
Tank is been up and running for 11 month. 75lb of LR. 2in of sand.
Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate – all 0. CA 400ppm, Alk: 9.8 dKH, PH 8.3 (Salifert).
Currently I have (in order of addition):
Maroon Clown Fish - 2-2.5in
Yellow watchman goby - 1.5in
Coral beauty angelfish – 2-2.5in
Eibl’s angelfish – 2.5-3in.
All doing good and are peaceful.
Do you think my system is appropriate for FoxFace?
Also I would really appreciate the feedback from the FF owners:
What is your tank size?
What do you feed?
How many times per day do you feed?
Any other considerations, suggestions.
Thank you.

I had one in my 75, and they get pretty big. It was an awesome fish to watch. They are extremely colorful when they swim but turn colors when they hide. Mine was a pig, I fed it algae sheets, mysis shrimp, and formula 2. It was extremely timid for the first couple months and then came around more when he got used to me. It eventually died from ich. That was a heartbreaker...

I would not put a foxface in a 75 unless your larger tank is being set up right now. They need room to swim and get very large. They are also very messy. You have a peacefull tank going right now, choose appropriate fish to keep it that way. What qualities are you looking for in your next fish?

I like the fish I have right now. Just would like to add “bright” color to the tank.
I thought that yellow watchman would do but the guy is sitting in his cave (or near by)
all the time and comes to the front only at feeding time

This is going to be my last fish.
Thanks for your opinions guys.
More responses/suggestions are welcome.

I have mine is a 150G tank. I love the way he manages to change colors at the drop of a hat. After about a month he finally started to recgonize me and almost always come to the front. He is very peaceful with the others inth tank. He is a pig though and has basically doubled in size in the last 6 months or so.
