Foxface Compatability

[Garrett_F]

Would a foxface be compatible with 3 royal gammas and 2 clowns in a 55 gal?

Thanks

I wouldn' try it. He may not bother your fish but your tank is too small for him. I think minimum tank size is 75G. They get up to 9 Inches long....

The foxface would be okay, the 3 royal gammas will kill each other eventually in a 55g - very teritorial of their rockwork.

Fishwise, the foxface is compatible. I agree that even if you buy it small, it will outgrow your tank before you know it.

yes will be fine, foxfaces are laid back. but can get big.

Ok, With all of that said what would be a good algae eater for that size tank? The royal gammas will probably get seperated once i get the rest of the fish selected.

I have a 65g with a one spot that tends to be a little smaller then the standard fox face and while it's okay for my sized tank I wouldn't go any bigger.

As for an algae eater go with a Lawn Mower Blenny. Great fish, huge personality and just real cute to boot!

I wouldn't put a foxface in a 55g. That fish poops like an elephant and gets rather large.
