We have an established Foxface (named Hendrix) in our 135 gallon. He's about 7 inches and, while he mixes it up with the Convict Tang a bit, he's generally peaceful. We bought a Golden Lined Rabbitfish (the wife has named him Harvey) from Biota because we thought he was cool looking, but frankly he was kind of an impulse buy. That said, he's pretty cool and we want to keep him. I could swear I did some research to see if he'd get along with our Foxface and saw that they would be fine, but now the research says they will likely fight the the bloody death.
Harvey currently in our 20-gallon frag tank (with 2 naked clowns and 1 blue-green chromis) and doing great, but he's going to need to me moved to the display tank soon. He's a little less than 3 inches in length.
I'm starting to feel like I painted myself into a corner here. I'm considering putting him in display with the foxface and see what happens. I'm also considering trying to re-home the foxface. Ultimately I know either fish will outgrow the 130 gallon, so I'm kind of at a loss on what to do.
Any thoughts?
