A very attractive and hardy fish, the Masked Rabbitfish is a nice addition to most aggressive tanks. It will graze on both nuisance and desirable algae. Typically not aggressive towards any fish except the same sex of its own kind. However, it is usually found and does quite well in pairs. |

The Masked Rabbitfish (Siganus puellis) is sometimes called a Decorated Rabbitfish or a Masked Spinefoot. It belongs to the family named Siganidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 15.1 inches in length, the Masked Rabbitfish is generally passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Siganus puellis should not be housed in a tank less than 140 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places.
