Score!
 
I absolutely have to say how pleased I am about a recent purchase I made. On Saturday I made a quick stop in to RC for supplies and low and behold my dream fish, a magnificient foxface, was in store.

I've been looking for one of these fish for 5+ years now, I have been on tons of lists, etc. with no luck. I am so thrilled that everyone at RC made it possible for me to bring this fish home on Saturday.

Thanks Guys!

5 years?? :eek: Holy crap, had I known, I would have told you each time I saw one, I think I've seen 2-3 in the last 4-5 months!! (Sorry!!!) Well, at least,the important thing is, NOW you have him in your tank. :) Good luck!

They are so beautiful, if I had a bigger tank it would be on my wish list too.

I've seen probably 2 since I got back to Calgary, but both times they were already sold and just waiting upon pickup. This guy is awesome though, a nice size too, about 5-6" in length.

Nice Score. He's a beauty!

banditpowdercoat 03-30-2009 11:38 PM

How come he looks so different in the acclimation bucket as opposed to in tank?

Nice score though

Youre very welcome Catherine. Im happy he will eventually be in your care and in a tank truly big enough for him. I was also happy that it didnt take to long trying to get him out of that tank...I was worried it would take awhile. He/she looks great:becky:

They can change color and pattern depending on their "mood". They can go from being normally colored to almost black in a couple seconds.

banditpowdercoat 03-31-2009 01:31 AM

Not to hijack or anything, but is it just the magnificent that changes, or does the normal Foxface that see all the time change colors too??

Cameron 03-31-2009 01:43 AM

I wasn't sure what the draw was to this fish. I always thought they were ugly, but the color changing thing is cool.
