the proper colouration of a Siganus magnificus…

You shoudlnt really struggle to get Nori suitable over here - Ive used the stuff from Waitrose, Tesco, Asda etc and all is fine. As long as there is no added ingredients and it is plain, with no added extras, seasoning etc. there isnt an issue using it.

Id still go to eBay to buy personally though. You'll get 500 large sheets for the price you pay for one packet of Ocean Nutrition.

FYI - Non roasted would be great and is availbale on the likes of amazon etc, but other than possibly being less nutritious (No idea if thats even true or why it would be) I dont see or have any issues feeding the roasted version. Fed it for years when i had my large tank and swore by it for colour.

Ummm now I feel stupid as never even thought normal supermarkets would sell plain nori.i never seen it there but never looked for it though but next time I'm at tesco I will look ,I'm guessing it be in the world food Isle.
Thanks

Ok tesco sells 2 kind of nori.wont let me look at the details unless I login with email and stuff ( ovbiously so can send me multiply emails per day of offers " junk")
But thanks for saying a place I go to least 3 times per week and never thought to look if got any.

( or maybe I have and my tesco doesn't sell it but we shall see next time I go there )

So, according to this not many of our Siganus magnificus aren’t what they should look like in the hobby.

Siganus magnificus: Now THIS is how a magnificent foxface should look | Reef Builders | The Reef and Saltwater Aquarium Blog

The magnificent foxface, Siganus magnificus, is a wild looking species of rabbitfish. Once part of the Lo genus, the five former species of this genus have since been folded into Siganus with the…

I own this species of rabbitfish and would love to know how to get mine to look like the one pictured. Here’s a photo of mine in the 4’ tank.

Not saying I know anything about using editing to make a fish look more vibrant than it is but that ReefBuilders photo looks a bit enhanced. Mine usually has some stress colors so this is a rarer sight but here’s mine on a good day.

Mine eats at least 1 full sheet per day and loves pellets more than anything.

I know it’s an old thread but my old fox never got those colours, my new one however has colours even better than the photos from Reef Builders. I guess it’s all just genetics.
