Bannerfish

[KenPA]

Looking for information on this fish. Anything you can tell me will help me with a possible purchase. Especially size tank and if it will get along with a yellow tang. TIA.

Did you do a search on this board first?
Do a search under Heniochus.
I have two and they are great reef fish. They will get about 6-8 inches however so keep that in mind for tank size.
Also try a search on reefcentral.com

Do not confuse the bannerfish (H.diphreutes) for H. accuminatus which can eat some corals and clams.

Do not confuse the bannerfish (H.diphreutes) for H. accuminatus which can eat some corals and clams.

This is VERY VERY important, I just bought an heniochus, but I did my homework and bought a diphreutes, acuminatus is not reef safe.

I still have her in my refugium (one week now) getting her used to nori (which she loves) and flake food 8)

Nice fish
