![]() I'm just curious if anyone has a Siganus doliatus in their tank? (Common names include: Two barred rabbitfish, penciled rabbitfish, stenciled rabbitfish, and possibly blue-lined rabbitfish).
I've been looking for one for a king's age but all I've been able to find are the similar Siganus virgatus. Not that these aren't nice fish too (I have one), but, they're different. I'm just jonesing for some pictures. I've been googling for pictures and that sort of suffices but what I'd really like to see are pictures of one in a Canreefer's tank. So if you have one, please show off his (or her) picture(s) here in this thread! ![]() To give you an idea what a doliatus looks like, take a read of the reefkeeping.com article at http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/20...hcs3/index.php and search on doliatus. There is also a picture of virgatus in the same article. Here's the virgatus in my tank from when I first got him: ![]() (I need an updated shot of this guy. He's doubled in size in 7 months, and the yellow and the blues are much more striking now.) The main difference is that virgatus has blue spots instead of blue stripes in behind the brown bars on the head. The doliatus has vertical striping that extends all the way to the caudal fin (the "tail") whereas the virgatus has spots that reduce in density as they go towards the back.
