Lamark angel and rabbitfish

[scarf_ace1981]

accepting sps or other corals trade for the lamark. i had to sell my japanese swallowtail because she was eating my clam and my parents thought they would surprise me by buying a lamark angel. i was happy but was also a little sad because lamarks grow quite big. i don't want to get attched and then have to get rid of it when he grows to big. i can't return it so i'm offering him to you guys. mom paid $60 for it. it's in my sump. $45 beautiful 4+". p/u is in manhattan 169th st + ft washington ave.

i also have a rabbitfish. only reason i'm giving him up is cuz i'm getting a different rabbit. $10 looks just like this guy and eats mysis,brine,squid and seaweed.

[jhale]

okay, frilly mushroom trade? I have to give you something

I read one description of the rabbit fish that said they may eat LPS i.e acans if not well fed. what do you think?

Scarf, would the rabbit fish fight with a foxface because the foxface in my tank is still waiting for a corner in Jhale's tank.

You need to keep them in groups of atleast 3 or more. They also grow a very good size, 8"-12", and need a large tank.

Michael would you like a foxface?
Wingo I'm kind of leaning towards the rabbit fish jon has.
I like the different look of the rabbit fish.

I could understand that. OK, take the rabbit fish and I will move my foxface back home or if Marrone wants it, I bring to him instead o fyour tank.

 

[marrone]

JH I thought you passed on it. I'm looking for a small rabbit fish to eat my hair algae. I just got a small Foxface from NW and after 2 weeks it hasn't eaten that much hair algae.

 

[jhale]

oh no, I see the confusion, wingo wants me to pass on it I think

I'm kind of partial to the rabbit, it looks cool.

 

[marrone]

When it gets larger you'll see more of the blue lines on it's body. That why they call it a scribble Rabbit fish, I have a big on in my tank.

I think they Rabbit fish look better than the Foxfaces and they eat a lot more algae. They're almost like vacums.

Is that rabbit reef safe?

Kasei

Yes they're reef safe. Magnificent Foxfaces are know to nip at SPS though. They get to be a good size, some around 12", and need a good size tank as they're some what skiddish and need swimming room. You also need to watch out for their top fins as they're posionous, like Lion fish. Just think of them as tangs, but not as aggressive.

 

[Pseudo]

well is anyone taking it ? If not i will take it.

Kasei

 

[marrone]

I think JH is.

 

[jhale]

okay due to the size they grow I'm going to pass.

they belong in a larger tank, thus i'm going to let marrone take it, I know it will have a good home when it outgrows your reef Mr. 2x260.

Hi all,

I have a virgatus that completely stripped a rhodactus to the live rock the first night I got it. I think it was just really hungry, after that incident all was well. From what I have read, they are known to go after softies but I think if you keep them well fed that will not happen.
