Foxface compatible?
good day everyone.. My tank set up for 3 months now.. everything is moving along well(knocking on th ewood).
my par: are

amm- 0
nit- 0
nitrate -20ppm( a little high)
cal -440
alk -9 dkh
sg - 1.025
temp -80
ph - 8.2

currently my stocks are:
Blue tang
tp clown
sleeper goby
coral beauty

I do have a few mushroom, hammer, frogspawn and torch coral...

now I am planning to add 2 more fish to my tank and that would be all.. I am looking for a foxface rabbitfish and a sixline warsse..Are either on those fish compati ble with the currently tankmate?? and if so, which one should I introduce first? the foxface or the sixline warsse?

can someone give me insight on the foxface,( they are beautiful fish), its there any special care I need to watch if I am getting one?? I know they are Venomous..

why add fish when nitrates are so high? just try and get them down then add another fish once everything becomes a little more stable.

Regarding the Foxface info, mine is really friendly and can be hand-fed. The venomous spines are usually up when he's stressed or at night - for defense. Not aggressive towards any fish.
You probably should have a 6' tank when it gets bigger, mine loves to swim.

foxfaces are great reef fish, not aggressive towards other fish and are very hardy in my experience. They grow very fast and are algae eating machines. If you have a tank big enough for a 5-6 inch fish they are an excellent choice for a reef.
