Bucktooth Parrotfish 3.5" WYSIWYG

The name, "Parrotfish" comes from the shape of the mouth. The teeth are fused together to form a "beak" that resembles a parrot's.

A 180 gallon or larger aquarium with plenty of swimming room is required, due to its size. The aquarium should contain live rock and hard corals (skeletons are acceptable). The Bicolor Parrotfish will eat algae off the corals and rocks, and chew on the hard corals to eat the animals within.

The diet should be supplemented with a variety of herbivore preparations, flaked foods, and meaty preparations.
