Rabbit Fishes

[rcpilot44]

I just added a 3 inch one spot rabbit fish into my 150 g reef. Can I add a scribble fox face to the same tank since it hasn't set up territory yet? Thanks

You can usually mix rabbit fish. I have had doliatus in with magnificent before with no issues.

anyone experience having these two together:

The mouths are different, do you think they will fight??

I have a fox face lo and a blue stripped rabbit (it resembles the scribble in body shape) in a 120. The fox was in my tank for some time before I got the blue stripe and he was not happy with the new addition, but then he wasn't happy with the yellow tang either at first.

They now, all three, cruise the tank together foraging for algae. However, when I feed the fox will still chase the blue stripe. No real harm has ever come of this.

I don't think foxfaces are that aggressive or territorial. Go for it, and if there are issues then take one out.

just quarantine them with a clear divider between them. they will get used to each other and make sure you add them to the display tank at the same time.

do these guys ever pick at ur corals or inverts may be adding one to my 90

I've never heard of a fox face cuasing any invert troubles.

My blue stripe is a shroom and zoo eater. I have read of other rabbits of this body style being 50/50 with shrooms & zoos. SPS are generally safe.

Mine never bothered the zoos or mushroom that were in there. It was just a foxface lo.
