[fishjunkie123]

Cool that's what i thought and that's what I'm using...lol

 

[fishjunkie123]

Is there a such thing as too much filtration?

 

[Oscar98]

Not neccesarily lol. What gallon tank and what canister.

 

[fishjunkie123]

65 gal tank, 70 gal fluval canister and 55 penguin biofilter (hob)...

 

[Oscar98]

I dont know a lot about saltwater tanks but thats not over-filtered thats fine.

 

[fishjunkie123]

The more filtration, the more fish you can keep huh?

 

[Oscar98]

To certain extent yes.

How long has your foxface been in the tank?

 

[fishjunkie123]

About 4 or 5 days

Give it a bit more time. I had my foxface in my tank for about a week before he got more comfortable and even then I had to watch him from a far. If I walked up to the tank he would hide.

 

[fishjunkie123]

Yea thats what he does...what do you think is wrong with his color

 

[JumperAlex]

Is it a brown? or almost like a spotted camo color?

 

[fishjunkie123]

Its white, brown, black and yellow

 

[JumperAlex]

all the time? or just when it should be sleeping? that coloration can be a sign of the fish being stressed, scared, or just sleeping.

Ok want some input...re-did tank and up graded to 75 gal, looks great same sand and water just transferred it all...i now have a gold striped maroon clown that's taken to my sebea anemone, a foxface, a striped hawkfish, a firefish and a diamond goby...want to add a powder brown tang and a dottyback...got my rock set up with plenty of hiding spots as well as swimming room would the addition of those wfish be ok?

 

[fishjunkie123]

I think my foxface drove my powder brown to death...anyone else have a bully foxface?

Usually foxfaces are fairly mellow, but they can hold their own against aggressive fish if they need to. Tangs can be aggressive, especially in a smaller tank (really should be in at least a 125g). What makes you think the Foxface was at fault?
