I had a Siganus doliatus in my 230g. It ate all the pesky feather dusters which was wonderful. Later on it moved onto my zoos, that wasn't so wonderful. It got along well with my one spot foxface, but when the 230g came down, it went on to another tank. I'm looking for photos, but am only able to find fish-shaped blurs!

I'll take a fish shaped blur (come on, look at the picture of my virgatus, it aint potm material
 ). I've put in word at all the major retailers, local and mail-order, to be on the lookout for one, and not one, not one in twelve months! I've seen several virgatus that were mis-ID'd but no bona-fide doliatus. At this point I just want to see some evidence that this fish really does exist and really does show up north of the 49th once in a while... Please post the pictures!

Sorry, your SOL. I've gone through all of my photos from the 230g, and I don't have anything that I can post. My "blur" photo is horrid, so bad you can't even tell what kind of fish it is.

Those are actually Siganus puellus.
(Also called the blue-lined rabbitfish..) Nice fish!!! Mind you I like just about all the yellow/blue rabbits, very nice fish.

I have a Virgatus but last time I was at J&L (in the Spring) they had a Doliatus which they referred to as a Scribbled Rabbitfish (pretty sure this is the same fish you are referring to). I wanted to buy it but they wouldn't sell it since it was in one of the coral tanks making it too hard to catch. You might want to try J&L as they also list the Doliatus on their web site.

They are one of the places I have a standing request in. There hasn't been a doliatus, however, since at least August 2006 (I check the site every day
 ). I'm not 100% convinced that the doliatus back then was really doliatus as many sites do mistake virgatus for doliatus. This week they listed doliatus but I when I saw the pictures I knew they were virgatus. I told them of it and they corrected the page.Not that there's anything wrong with virgatus, like I said, I have one. I just don't need 2 of the same. So .. uh .. does anyone actually have pictures of a doliatus?
