FoxFace

[koga57]

I would like any input from owners of the FoxFace. I am looking for either the FoxFace Lo, Magnificent FoxFace, or the BiColor FoxFace.

Any input from would be appreciated.

What exactly do you want to know? I have a Magnificent FoxFace, he's a great fish eats anything I put in the tank and he likes to eat algae off the rocks.

These fish are eating machines. I bought a Doliatus rabbitfish (same family as a foxface) to rid my tank of grape caulerpa. I had ALOT of the stuff growing absolutely everywhere. Within 2 weeks, the fish totally mowed the whole crop down and will shred any I expose while doing maintenance. If you have the room, it's a great fish for a reef tank. Some however, have been known to snack on a few meaty LPS like open brains.

Thanks for the information. I do belive I will look at the Magnificent (silver) foxface or the Virgate Rabbitfish.

Both are beautiful.

I hated my Foxface. Mine was probably 4" long and VERY skittish. It would run into the rocks at top speed and sometimes into the glass at night. It made my other fish skittish as well.

They are skittish innitially, but given plenty of time and they will come around.
I have kept the Foxface and have a Bicolor now, and wouldn't do a tank without one. They are just algae processing machines. Scott Michael said that they should be fed mostly vegitarian fair but my Bi-color tears into Mysis.

Magnificant is my favorite of the three you listed.
