Decorated Rabbitfish - Siganus puellus
The Decorated Rabbitfish is a visually striking fish, perfect for enhancing the beauty of most aquariums. This species features a vibrant yellow body adorned with intricate bluish-white designs and a distinctive black band across its eyes.
Growing up to 12 inches, the Decorated Rabbitfish requires a minimum tank size of 75 gallons. Generally peaceful, these fish coexist well with other tank inhabitants. However, they may show aggression towards other Rabbitfish due to territorial disputes.
Handle the Decorated Rabbitfish with care, as they possess venomous spines. While considered reef-safe, they might nibble on LPS and soft corals if underfed. These fish are excellent at controlling algae, consuming various unwanted types.
As herbivores, Decorated Rabbitfish thrive on a diet rich in greens. Ideal food options include Nori, Spirulina, Red Algae, high-quality flake foods, and mysis shrimp.
Providing the right diet and environment, the Decorated Rabbitfish can be a fantastic addition to both reef and fish-only aquariums.
