:confused:
Hey guys I have a one spot foxface and in all the reading I have done it says they are herbivores, but mine has been eating the fresh meaty foods as well. Has anyone else experienced this?

It has plenty of other food available in the tank (I alway keep a ball of weed in the tank it munches on all day) so I was surprised to see it eating the meats with the clowns....

They are herbivores by name, but omnivores by choice.They really eat just about anything, but primarily eat algae, macro algae, nori, etc...

Be glad it eats everything, that way, when there isn't an abundant supply of one food, it can eat another source.

Cheers!

Mine eats anything, but if I put a clip in the tank with fresh nori, it will ignore any other food I put in the tank until it's had enough nori. I feed live blackworms on occasion and the rabbit is right in there with the mueller's butterfly trying to pull them out of the turkey baster!

They do need a certain amount of green in their diet, algae, seaweed (Nori) or foods made for herbivores.
