If you have a saltwater tank or you are willing to get a saltwater tank, I believe this blog is not to be missed by you guys at all!

So let’s start our blog about this really interesting and unique fish The Foxface Rabbitfish!

The Foxface Rabbitfish is a saltwater fish which is usually found in eastern Indian ocean and the western Pacific from Indonesia to the Marshall. This unique marine fish is usually considered as the best algae eater!

Yes you heard me right!

They are called the best algae eaters of saltwater aquariums. Yes Tangs are also algae eaters but Tangs can grow really aggressive overtime , the more they grow the more they becomes aggressive.

But this unique named fish is really cool to keep and they are generally not aggressive at all. They have a really calm appearance which makes them even more favorite towards fish keepers as fish keepers don’t need to think when they are adding other fishes!

Also this Foxface Rabbitfish is a really good algae eaters. Specially if you have bubble algae growing over your aquarium, they are the best in town. And also as they are less aggressive , that’s why you should add one in your bucket list!

This best saltwater algae eater has a really unique coloration over it’s body. It has Black, Yellow and White color in it’s body. Mainly the body has a really cool Yellow tone all over it. Where the coloration changes is in the head and mouth. In the forehead part, it has black coloration and bellow that it has a white coloration. And usually bellow the head and in the starting of it’s belly part, it has black again.

Bit fascinating right?

And the coloration ends with a black spot located in it’s body near it’s tail. I believe this fish are really unique looking and interesting!

Do you know why this fishes are so very user-friendly? Well this fish can maximum grow up-to 9 inch’s. And it is said that this fish don’t need much of a space I mean a bigger tank is not quite required in terms of this fish.

So usually a 75 gallon will do really well for this fish.

But if you can afford a bigger tank, you should as it will eventually help your fishes to stay healthy!

This best algae eaters will help you so much to keep your tank clean. They won’t gonna harm your other corals or fishes at all. If only another Foxface Rabbitfish is added, it can cause some issue as it can be aggressive then.

Recommendation is to keep only one Foxface Rabbitfish inside your aquarium.

I know this fish are really good for your tank in so many aspects but do you know that this fish also had a really bad side of them?

Have you seen the dorsal fins of this fish? Well there are 13 spines located there which are really venomous. I mean not that much venomous to kill but their venoms can create a really uncomfortable feeling and can create irritation when it get’s touch with you.

So make sure not to add your hands near them okay?

If you outlook this fact, the fish are the best option you can get for your dream aquarium!

There are so many varieties of this fish. But the best recommendation will be the fish that I have described.

You can also choose from this other options but keeping them will be little bit difficult I believe!
