Hey,

Got a rabbitfish a couple days ago, the store wasn't sure if it's a two barred (Siganus virgatus) or a scribbled (Siganus doliatus) rabbit. Besides the one attachment, I don't have any good pictures of it or any good way to get pictures of it. I just need a way to tell the two species apart. Thank you.
 
I'm leaning towards a scribbled rabbit , he don't seem to have a yellow back so I don't
think he is a virgate rabbit . but that's hard to be positive as the pict is small

He does have some yellow in him, my lights don't do fish's colors any justice. He might just be too young to tell yet, the lines on him seem to only go 1/3 of the way down his body.
