So, a few weeks ago my tomini tang passed away after many years of service in my Reefer 350. He was the main piscine source of algae control, and I would like to bring in a new fish to take on his responsibilities.
I could of course get a new tomini or another species of bristletooth tang, but I always enjoy trying out new fish when a vacancy opens up. I'm interested in a one-spot foxface, but I am a little worried about how it would behave with another fish in my tank - if you read the title, I'm sure you've guessed that it's a pyramid butterfly. I've read that foxfaces tend to be peaceful unless there's a similar fish in the tank. And like the foxface, the pyramid is black, white and yellow.
Obviously I can tell the difference, but the bigger question is, can the foxface? For anyone who has had this specific situation (or a similar one), did the foxface cause problems when there was a similar but not conspecific fish?
