My New Foxface

well as many of you may or may not know one of my favorite fish of all is the Metallic foxface, (Lo magnifica)

i haev been looking at them for years, ever since my first regular foxface (Siganus vulpinus

well im glad to present my new show fish..





This and my wrasse are only fish i added since my losses during my little disaster.

here is a current list of the fish i have now
1 Metallic Foxface
1 Ocellaris Clown
2 Madarin Dragonettes
1 sixline wrasse

at this point my fish load is quite light, and i think its going to stay this way for a while..

yes, should do fine, as long as there are hiding places.
these are strong swimmers, but not like a tang. i kept one in a 29 gallon tank for a while, not that i recommend that. a 50 should be fine thoguh

they are herbivorous, so you have to make sure you meet that part of there diet. i prune caulepra almost daily for him, i sometimes replace that with dried nori sheets, depends on my mood..
That said, they will eat many things, so they are not "picky" IME

That is a wonderful fish, I have long admired them, but the price when I see them at the LFS is usually pretty steep. So I've settled for a common foxface which are also beautiful just not as striking.

You just have to watch where you stick your hand. I've honestly never felt in a "weird" position with our foxface where I thought there was a chance to be stuck. I started the horrible habit of feeding her by hand and now she won't leave me alone.

I think my regulary foxface lo is not going to make it. I wish I knew why. I like them a lot. I don't want to give up on having a foxface. I like the magnificent foxface a lot...maybe I'll try one if I lose my current one. I just wish I had an idea of why it got sick and has declined so quickly.
