The Heniochus Butterfly, a.k.a. Bannerfish, is a gorgeous high profile fish with an elongated dorsal fin. These fish are white with a pair of black bands and a bright yellow tail. They are a schooling fish and do well when kept in groups of three or more. The Heniochus should be kept in a tank large enough for them to swim freely.The family of Butterflyfish get their name from their behavior of fluttering around the reef. These fish typically have rather round and thin bodies. They are very colorful and some have extended snouts which they use to reach worms entrenched in the reef.
