Question Two Rabbitfish/Foxface?

Anyone ever keep two rabbitfish/foxfaces in one tank before?

If both are introduced into the tank at the same time you'll be fine. They are peaceful community fish. For a One Spot Foxface you need at least a 65g and for the bigger standard RabbitFish for the two well over 100g.

I know a person that had two in his rather large tank (over 240g I believe). The one was dominate and the other hid all the time.

Personally, I wouldn't suggest it...

I know a guy who has 5-6 in his 180.
I see that you have a 210. You could have many, many foxfaces/rabbitfish is you so desired.
I personally think that they rock.

Wow 5-6 in a 210, I sure would hate to have to put my hand in that tank.....

They poop a whole lot and are poisonus. I would stick to one personally.
