	Rabbitfishes
		Rabbitfishes are almost all marine (one species is brackish), ranging widely in the tropical Indo-Pacific and eastern Mediterranean in shallow lagoons.
		Rabbitfishes are one of my exceptions to the general rule of quarantine; most are clean and ready to go with just a preventative freshwater dip.
		Rabbitfishes are not to be trusted with non-fishes as their grazing habits often extend to macro-algae, and invertebrates of all kinds.

	SEAFDEC/AQD - Research Findings - RABBITFISH (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Siganus guttatus is one of 27 species of rabbitfishes in the Family Siganidae, distinguished by a large number of poisonous fin spines - 13 in the dorsal, 7 in the anal, and 2 in the pelvic fins.
		Rabbitfishes are marine fishes widely distributed in the neritic zone of the tropical Indo-Pacific from east Africa and the Red Sea to French Polynesia, with the most species in the Indo-Malayan region.
		Rabbitfishes spawn around reefs and seagrass-seaweed beds, the eggs 0.5-0.6 mm in diameter, demersal, and adhesive, and the larvae pelagic and 1.5 mm long at hatching.

		Rabbitfish all have a characteristic compressed body, oval in shape, small scales and a prominent head and body.
		The slope of the forehead mimics that of a rabbit.
		Rabbitfish tend to be aggressive towards members of their own kind, although when given adequate space can keep themselves out of trouble.

		Research of the schooling rabbitfish within mariculture facilities (Lam, 1974; Coche et al., 1979) indicates that the eggs are adhesive, though not demersal, with hatching occurring within one to three days (Lam, 1974).
		Rabbitfish have successfully adapted to the higher salinities of the Red Sea, as well as the lower salinities of the mangrove habitat.
		The rabbitfish may be too aggressive of a swimmer for a Comet to feel comfortable.

	(Aquaculture news #18 2001) Optimising larval feeding techiques for the rabbitfish (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Rabbitfish (Family: Siginidae) are amongst the most commercially important fish species in the Southern Mediterranean, Arabian Gulf and Indo-Pacific regions.
		A project was recently undertaken at the Bribie Island Aquaculture Research Centre (BIARC) to optimise larval rearing techniques for the rabbitfish, Siganus nebulosus (Figure 1).
		Around 10 000 rabbitfish larvae were placed in 1000 litre tanks six hours after hatch.

	Rabbitfish, Members of the Marine Fish Family Siganidae
		Rabbitfish are found in shallow lagoons in the Indo-Pacific and eastern Mediterranean.
		Rabbitfish have small, hare-like mouths, large dark eyes, and a peaceful temperament which gives them their name.
		All rabbitfish are diurnal and herbivorous, feeding on algae in the wild.

	Evolution: Survival: Coral Reef Connections
		Goldlined rabbitfish (Siganus lineatus), locally called spine-feet fish, are so named for the defensive venomous spines at the ends of each of their pelvic fins.
		To avoid being thrust into a risky spine-to-fang battle, rabbitfish employ their expert color-changing talents to avoid predator detection in the first place.
		Schools of rabbitfish thus provide an excellent refuge for their poorly defended relatives, the parrotfish.

		Rabbitfish is an important marine fish preferred by people in Southeast Asian countries.
		However, the widespread culture of rabbitfish is hampered by the lack of seed stock.
		For many years, rabbitfish was one of the species routinely worked-on in the training course on marine fish hatchery that is offered annually.

		Induced spawning technique, using hormones, is adopted in Rabbitfish (Siganus canaliculatus) culture, whereas eggs collected from the specially maintained brood stocks at the MRRC were used for the culture of Sea bream and Grouper.
		About three month old Rabbitfish juveniles (average fork length 12.5 cm and body weight 37g) were kept in a culture pond and fed with locally made compound feed.
		In general, Rabbitfish could reach about 150g in 8 months which is considered the commercial size for this species.

	Magnificent foxface Siganus magnifica
		Like all rabbitfish, the magnificent foxface should live for years if provided plenty of algae based food and decent water quality.
		Rabbitfishes, or "foxface" are much hardier than cousins, the tangs.
		Other cool species include the twin stripe foxface, the orange spotted rabbitfish, and the once very rare Fiji Bicolor foxface.

	USP Endemic Fish
		The USP rabbitfish is a member of the Siganidae family (rabbitfish).
		The family is commonly known as rabbitfish because they like to eat seagrass and seaweed, which make up their main diet (and not because they look like rabbits).
		The juveniles of the USP rabbitfish occur in schools but adults are found in pairs only.

		A total of 1142 rabbitfish were examined over a 3 yr period from inside mariculture net cages, from the cage surroundings and from several sites along the coast.
		Overall prevalence levels of 50% were recorded in the rabbitfish sampled inside the net cages and 39 % at the cages' close surroundings, 21% at a sandy beach site 1.2 km westwards, 35% at Eilat harbour 3 km to the south and 42% at a coral reef site about 10 km south of the cages.
		marinum isolates from rabbitfish captured at Eilat harbour and the coral reef site were shown by 16S rDNA sequencing analysis to be identical to isolates from rabbitfish trapped inside the mariculture cages as well as isolates from locally cultured sea bass D.

	SiganidFAQs
		Rabbitfishes aren't among those fishes most likely to have/contract/transmit ick, so hopefully everything will be OK. The horse is out of the barn now anyway, there's no going back, is there?> I guess I am just seeking reassurance besides what I read on WetWebMedia.
		Some Rabbitfish will tolerate others of their own kind or relatives, while the Foxface end of the family (Lo, vulpinus, Fiji) tend to be aggressive toward the rest and often need to be the ONLY member of the genus kept in a tank lest an all out war erupt.
		Some of the other Rabbitfish can be kept in groups, but the Lo will definitely attack conspecifics as it grows, and other family members as well.

	Rabbitfish: From The Monthly Saltwater Aquarium Magazine
		The results of combining them with other Rabbitfish species, like the Spotted Rabbitfish, cannot be generalized upon as of yet.
		Dark blotches appear, and they are able to blend into the darkness very easily, with the exception of the front of their head, which has a bright white stripe coming from the top down to the mouth, when looking at the fish “head-on.”
		The Foxfaced Rabbitfish is a hardy, pretty, common, and cheap fish that is a great addition to a saltwater aquarium.

		Only a small percentage of the roughly 1,500 tropical fish species traded worldwide have been bred successfully in captivity, and the foxface rabbitfish is not among them.
		The foxface rabbitfish is not being taken from the ocean in a conscientious way, she said, which makes it a good candidate for captive breeding.

		However, in the week it took for the rabbitfish to acclimate to his new home and come out of hiding, the snails had the algae on the run (if I had only waited!).
		Thankfully, fortune smiled on me and I was able to trap him behind a rock, prod him into the net, and remove him with minimum disruption to the tank.
		The bad news is that while I've made significant improvement in patience over the last several years thanks to reef keeping, situations such as these still arise and I realize there is still much work to do.

		The three species (birdbeak dogfish, small-eyed rabbitfish and rabbitfish) that scored much more poorly as nuggets than as fillets had high ammonia levels.
