Saw this for sale on a different site and am very interested. Is there care level the same as the more common foxface? How long should a tank be cycled before adding one of these? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Here is a pic if that helps.

most of the rabbit fish tend to be hardy and have the same level of care. I find the common foxface lo that everybody gets the least interesting of them all. I dont know how long you should wait but it wouldn't be my 1rst or second fish for numerous reasons if its a new set up (not the least being if you lose him they arent usually 2 more sitting around to be bought). then again if you see one for sale and you want it you really dont have much choice unless your willing to wait until another one becomes available which could be who knows when.
these (blue line rabbitfish) are easy enough to come by Siganus doliatus

others

^^ Agreed
The tank is 180 gallon and has been cycled a lil over a month now. Fish load is a chromis a clown goby and a yellow watchman goby. Water quality hasnt been a issue as of yet.
Ive never seen the gold spotted one in a LFS but I was going to order him online, just was curious to how long my tank needs to be up and running before I consider him.
