Description
The Blue Line Rabbitfish is an attractive and vibrant species known for its striking yellow body adorned with intricate blue lines. Its peaceful temperament and algae-eating habits make it a beneficial addition to large marine and reef aquariums, where it helps control algae growth.
While typically reef-compatible, caution should be taken as it may occasionally nip at soft corals when hungry. This herbivorous fish requires a diet rich in algae, seaweed, and other vegetable matter, which helps maintain its brilliant coloration and health.
The Blue Line Rabbitfish has venomous dorsal spines, so care should be taken when handling or maintaining the tank. This fish thrives in a spacious aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and grazing areas. Its calm demeanor and natural beauty make it a captivating and useful addition for aquarists.
