I also got a little one spot fox face, gotta admit he's kinda cute, thanks for talking me into it! He's in the 180.

I'm really enjoying my one spot. He is a bit of a going concern (he's very easily stressed), but he seems to be settling down more and more. I just found him up in the top corner of the tank with his snout practically out of the water. Everything tests fine.

He's gobbling up the algae, and cyano. Isn't nipping any polyps that I can see. Loves mysis.

I'm sure you're really going to enjoy yours.

Thumbs down

Just for your guys info a small one spot fox face does better in the long term off of .08 semi sinking pellets then frozen and they are a herbivores.
Just saying I love mine! But I try to get all my fish on pellets over frozen!
Also a nori sheet once a week or so is great.

From what I can find on the web, that's a nice looking goby you got there Sheena
And you're going to love your new fox

Shelley, the jury is still out, but I'd suggest removing the cyano from your QT as it may upset the fox's system
Cyano is a bacteria, not algae

I also feed mine mysis, and pellets, but I am feeding Nori every other day or so to flush his system as he may have had constipation from not enough veggies

I spoke with a member about this as our Smudge was releasing stringy poops after pellets and mysis
The extra feedings of nori and some spirulina pellets seem to have taken care of it
