Description
The Singular Bannerfish is a large and striking marine fish characterized by its tall dorsal fin, bold black and white banding, and bright yellow fins. It requires a spacious, mature saltwater aquarium with plenty of swimming room and rockwork for hiding. While generally peaceful with dissimilar tankmates, it can be territorial with other bannerfish or butterflyfish.
