keeping clown fish and foxface together

[guppypro]

hi, so i've got 2 freshwater tanks going and i'm thinking of setting up a 75 gallon saltwater tank - really excited about it. i was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on a couple of fish i'm looking at keeping together - are they compatible? also, what's the main difference in caring for saltwater vs freshwater tanks? i know filtration and water changes are key, but what exactly do i need to do? any tips would be great, thanks

I'm not exactly the best at writing long-winded essays on marine tank care, so I'd suggest checking out some similar threads in the chit chat section or starting a new topic with your questions there.

That being said, I can tell you that a foxface and a clownfish should get along just fine. I used to keep a foxface with a maroon clown and never had any issues with aggression. Now I've got the foxface with a sixline wrasse, which is way smaller, and still no problems - the foxface is just a bit of a food thief, haha.

They're compatible, but I'd be cautious with coflakes, they can be iffy on being reef safe, in my experience.
