Description
The Yellowband Fusilier is a sleek, active schooling marine fish easily identified by the bright yellow stripe running along its silvery-pink body. These pelagic fish are typically found in large schools over coral reefs, where they feed on zooplankton. They require a spacious aquarium with strong water flow and stable parameters to thrive.
