{"product_id":"gold-spot-rabbitfish","title":"Gold Spot Rabbitfish","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Gold Spot Rabbitfish, *Siganus guttatus*, is a striking and peaceful addition to a large marine aquarium. Its body is a beautiful olive-brown to greenish-brown, adorned with numerous small, bright gold spots that cover its head, body, and fins. A prominent dark spot is typically present just below the lateral line, near the base of the tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA minimum tank size of 125 gallons is recommended to provide ample swimming space and accommodate its potential adult size of up to 16 inches in the wild, though they typically remain smaller in captivity, reaching around 10-12 inches. A well-established aquarium with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding places is essential for its well-being. The Gold Spot Rabbitfish is generally reef-safe with caution, as it may nip at some soft corals and clam mantles, especially if not well-fed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis herbivorous species primarily feeds on marine algae. In the aquarium, their diet should consist of a variety of high-quality marine algae, including dried seaweed (nori), spirulina, and other vegetable-based foods. Supplementing their diet with occasional offerings of mysis shrimp or other meaty foods can also be beneficial. They are excellent algae grazers and can help control nuisance algae in the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gold Spot Rabbitfish possesses venomous spines in its dorsal, anal, and pelvic fins. Care should be taken when handling this fish to avoid being stung. While the sting is not typically life-threatening, it can be painful. They are generally peaceful towards other fish but may become territorial towards other rabbitfish or similar-looking species. Sexes are not easily distinguishable visually. Breeding in captivity is not common.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick Facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Siganus guttatus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbivore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-Reef Safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indo-Pacific\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Adult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 125 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Discover Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":53075878609185,"sku":"TT-6306-S","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":53075878641953,"sku":"TT-6306-M","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large","offer_id":53075878674721,"sku":"TT-6306-L","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0893\/4044\/4961\/files\/Gold-Spot-Rabbitfish-7.jpg?v=1784975380","url":"https:\/\/discoveraquaticsshop.com\/products\/gold-spot-rabbitfish","provider":"Discover Aquatics Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
