Multiple rabbitfish

[TChristman]

I currently have a 3.5 to 4 inch Foxface Rabbitfish in my 400+ gallon tank and I am interested in possibly adding another rabbitfish. I know most of the websites say this is ill-advised but I have seen it in a few other tanks.

I wanted to get your experience with long term success or failures if you have done this before. I am looking at possibly adding a decorated or two bar.

Thank you.

I've had 3(different species) in my 400 for > 3 years with no problem.

Were they all added at the same time or over time? Thanks.

do you want to add another foxface or some other species?

 

[TChristman]

Another species. Either one of the three:

Siganus guttatus
Siganus puellus
Siganus virgatus

Thanks,

Tim

I added a smaller bicolor to a 180 with a large established doliatus and didnt have any aggression problems. Take a look at the doliatus, very similar to the virgatus but even prettier striping and coloration.

Thank you. It seems I am going to look at another species. Great suggestion Tuna. Merry Christmas!

should have no problems mixing any of those species

i have a foxface and rabbit fish in my 180, about once a day the foxface chases the rabbit fish but thats it (which is normal for fish to do)
