In this article, we are learning all about a beautiful fish, the Blue Spotted Rabbitfish.
Prices: You'll have to spend at least $100 to get one of these.
Tank Size: By the end of their lifespan, they will need at least a 120-gallon tank. It will give them plenty of room, especially when they hit their max size.
Care Level: Moderate, mainly because people usually have trouble with their diet and are also venomous. So, you have to be very careful around them.
Temperament: They are very peaceful fish.
Reef Compatibility: With caution. They do tend to nip on LPS and Soft corals as a snack. But if they are fed enough, you'll not have to worry about it.
Water Parameter
Temperature: 72-78 degrees
dKH: 8-12
pH: 8.1-8.4
Salinity: 1.020-1.025
Everything is essential there. Keep up with water changes with no spikes; this will be an easy fish to keep.
Appearance
They get about 8-inches long. So, a long and big fish to have in your tank. So, you want plenty of room for this fish to swim because they can be active swimmers once they get adjusted to the tank.
Diet
So, they are an omnivore. But, you want to ensure that you have algae in their diet because it will help keep them full and also help them stay away from any diseases.
Please make sure you have grass seaweed that you can put in their tank. Also, make sure you have fed them different brine shrimps. Then you can also provide them with pellets and flake foods.
Once they get adjusted, they are pretty hungry fish in the tank.
Compatibility
They can be kept with a mated pair, but they cannot be housed with other species of Rabbitfish. They'll defiantly fight. They always get very territorial over that, but they should be fine if you put two of the same.
They can be kept in a variety of different tank settings. So, their compatibility is extensive. Usually, the predators will not go after them because they see those fins and know they are poisonous on top.
Venomous
They have top spines you'll see flick constantly throughout the day, especially when they feel threatened. So you'll see them come up real heavy. And if you were to get poked by them or other fishes, it would have some venom go into you.
