Golden-Lined Spinefoot, Siganus Puellus
Golden-Lined Spinefoot, Siganus Puellus
This species can live as a pair (male and female).
An excellent grazing fish for the larger marine aquarium. All Rabbitfish/Foxfaces require tanks at least 500 litres, even juveniles, as they do grow very quickly if cared for well. The dorsal spines are venomous, if mishandled the spines can inflict a sting. The venom isn’t generally very dangerous, but, can be painful. We recommend only housing 1 Rabbitfish/Foxface per aquarium. Feed primarily on seaweed or appropriate flake food, they will also eat pellets and frozen foods, but, for the best results we recommend feeding mostly seaweed or the flake foods. A very colourful fish, that can also rapidly change colour. Foxfaces and Rabbitfish are quite intelligent and quickly recognize their owners. Highly recommended.
SIZE
3”, most specimens stop growing at 6”, some may reach 10” or more..
Safe with almost all small reef fish, and large predatory fish too. Safe with most soft corals except Zoas, risky with LPS or SPS. Safe with all but the smallest of mobile inverts.
