The Banded Butterflyfish is an adorable and lively species of butterflyfish. These fish feature a predominantly white body adorned with bold black vertical bands.

Banded Butterflyfish can grow up to 6 inches in length and require a minimum tank size of 125 gallons. They are peaceful and generally do not disturb other tank inhabitants. However, they are not suitable for reef tanks as they tend to consume various types of coral and invertebrates.

In larger, peaceful FOWLR (Fish Only With Live Rock) aquariums, Banded Butterflyfish make a wonderful addition, bringing dynamic movement to the environment. They thrive in small groups and should be provided with ample live rock for hiding and foraging between meals.

As carnivores, Banded Butterflyfish need a diet rich in meaty foods such as mysis and brine shrimp, high-quality frozen foods, and small pieces of fresh seafood to ensure their health and vitality.
