Info
Very rarely introduced fish that feels very comfortable in a tank with algae.
Diet: algae food (saltat, spinach, nori and also banana), as well as fine brine shrimp, mysis and krill
Completely peaceful, even very affectionate fish that also likes to be in company with other fish.
Even the keeper likes to be recognized and the fish swims between your hands when you are working in the aquarium.
There should always be some fine coral sand in the aquarium, as these animals like to eat sand to aid digestion.
In this species of fish, single or multiple fin rays are provided with spines that inject the toxin. The effect of the toxins can range from simple nausea to death of the injured person.
Catching and or handling in the aquarium with this fish species should be done with extreme caution.
Injuries to the keeper are very painful, but not fatal. The Poison Control Center in Munich classifies rabbitfish rather as less toxic.
Before buying a rabbitfish, please check if keeping it is allowed in your state.
You can find this information in the respective valid dangerous animal law of your federal state.
