Description
The Masked Bannerfish, also known as the False Butterflyfish, is a visually captivating species found in the warm waters of the Indo-Pacific region. This fish features a striking color pattern, characterized by a white body adorned with bold black vertical stripes, complemented by vibrant yellow fins that enhance its appeal.
In terms of behavior, the Masked Bannerfish is semi-aggressive and can exhibit territorial tendencies, especially when kept in smaller tanks. To ensure a harmonious environment, it’s best housed in a minimum tank size of 75 gallons, with plenty of hiding spots and swimming space.
As an omnivore, the Masked Bannerfish thrives on a varied diet, including high-quality marine flakes, pellets, and occasional frozen foods like brine shrimp and mysis shrimp. Additionally, this species is reef-compatible, making it a popular choice for reef aquarists. Maintaining stable water conditions—such as proper salinity, temperature, and pH—will help ensure the Masked Bannerfish remains a vibrant and healthy addition to any marine aquarium setup.
