Aquarium Information
- Care level: intermediate
- Temperament: peaceful
- Diet: herbivore
- Minimum tank size: 120 gallons (450 liters)
- Compatibility: Generally peaceful with other fish, but can be territorial towards conspecifics or similar-looking species in smaller tanks. Best kept singly or in a very large tank with ample space for multiple rabbitfish.
- Special requirements: Requires a well-established tank with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding. A strong protein skimmer and good filtration are essential due to their herbivorous diet and waste production. Provide a varied diet of marine algae, spirulina, and high-quality vegetable flakes/pellets. Can be prone to fin erosion if water quality is poor.
