Ctenochaetus strigosus Blue Eye, also known as spotted surgeonfish, is a robust and active fish highly valued in reef aquariums. It is easily recognized by its oval-shaped body decorated with small blue spots on the head and its bright yellow ring around the eye, giving it a lively and elegant expression.
This surgeonfish spends its day grazing on algae, biofilms, and detritus present on live rocks and substrate. Thanks to its specialized mouth, it scrapes surfaces without damaging them, thus contributing to the good balance of the reef ecosystem. It is particularly effective in limiting organic matter accumulation.
Very dynamic, Ctenochaetus strigosus Blue Eye requires a good swimming space to thrive. A long, well-oxygenated aquarium decorated with rocky areas is ideal. It can be kept with other peaceful fish, but cohabitation with other surgeonfish should be considered carefully to avoid territorial rivalries.
Although it feeds largely on the natural elements of the tank, a regular vegetable dietary supplement is essential for its digestive health and the intensity of its colors.
Ctenochaetus strigosus Blue Eye is an essential surgeonfish in any well-established reef tank. Its understated beauty, useful behavior, and natural resilience make it a wise choice for aquarists seeking a functional and decorative fish.
