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?

Thanks, but I've seen those! I want to see Canreefers pictures!

(Believe me - in 12 months of waiting for this fish to arrive at one of the 6 stores I've asked to watch out for one for me - I've learned to be VERY obsessive compulsive about it! Probably not a day doesn't go by where I don't google this fish.)

...and here I thought I was bad when I'm waiting on fish, clams, or corals. I have to say I think you take the proverbial cake!
