Bicolour Parrotfish
Snapshot: As juveniles, they sport a crisp white hue with a bold orange band across their face. When fully grown, males transform into dazzling blue-green beauties adorned with pink markings. Their distinctive pointed snout is reminiscent of their avian namesake, the parrot.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to a whopping 76cm or so (fully grown adult)! Native to the Red Sea. These voracious eaters can devour hefty amounts of algae from rocks, keeping your tank clean and vibrant.
Bare bones must know: Best suited to a live-rock fish-only system. Colossol size aquarium needed (to accomodate its growth).
Aquarium set-up: Size matters. You'll need a colossal tank, giving them the freedom to stretch their fins and glide through the water with ease. Fill that expansive space with live rock to create an underwater oasis fit for royalty. Maintain an aquatic utopia by nailing the basics: rock-solid water quality with top-notch filtration and routine partial water changes.
Feeding: They're omnivores and crave a diverse diet. Offer chopped fish or shrimp, frozen mysis or brine shrimp, plus algae or algae sheets.
AQT note: All our fish feast on a diet of seaweed, marine pellets, flakes and frozen treats under our care. Keep the feast going in your tank!
