Quoyi/Green Parrot Fish Pair

Quick Stats

Description

The Quoyi Parrotfish, also known as the Green Parrotfish, is a stunningly vibrant addition to larger aquariums. With its beautiful green body highlighted by shades of blue and pink, this parrotfish creates a lively and colorful display. It is often a favorite among aquarists for its unique appearance and gentle demeanor. However, due to its size and dietary needs, the Quoyi Parrotfish is best suited for more experienced hobbyists with spacious tanks.

Native to the Indo-Pacific, this member of the Scaridae family is primarily an herbivore and requires a diet rich in marine algae to thrive. Its grazing behavior is essential for its health but can sometimes interfere with coral and reef structures, making it unsuitable for reef aquariums. The Quoyi Parrotfish is peaceful and typically coexists well with other non-aggressive species, though its size and space requirements make it better suited for larger aquariums with ample swimming space.

When adding a Quoyi Parrotfish to your setup, ensure a mature and well-established aquarium with stable water conditions to support its health and vibrant colors. Its diet can be supplemented with algae-based foods, seaweed, and vegetable matter to mimic its natural feeding habits.
