Pennant Coralfish: Graceful Beauty for Your Marine Aquarium

Add a striking centerpiece to your saltwater tank with the magnificent Pennant Coralfish. Its bold colors and flowing fins create an unforgettable display.

Overview

The Pennant Coralfish (*Heniochus acuminatus*), also known as the Longfin Bannerfish, is celebrated for its distinctive black and white vertical bands and an impressive, elongated white dorsal fin that resembles a flowing banner. Its body is laterally compressed, allowing for graceful movement through the water. Peaceful and active, these beautiful fish typically cruise the mid-water to bottom zones of your aquarium, making them a captivating focal point for any marine setup.

Care Level

Caring for the Pennant Coralfish is considered moderate. While generally peaceful, they can be territorial if not introduced carefully, especially when housing multiple specimens. They thrive in a community setting with other peaceful to semi-aggressive tankmates, but aggressive species should be avoided. This species is not considered reef-safe, as it may nip at corals and invertebrates.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 450 liters (approximately 120 gallons) is recommended for a single adult Pennant Coralfish, with larger tanks necessary for groups. Maintain stable water parameters: a pH range of 8.1-8.4 and a temperature of 22-29°C. Your aquarium should offer ample open swimming space, along with plenty of live rock for hiding and grazing.

Diet

The Pennant Coralfish is an omnivore. In the wild, they consume zooplankton, small invertebrates, and coral polyps. In your aquarium, offer a varied diet including high-quality marine flakes, pellets, frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and chopped meaty foods. Feed multiple small meals daily to ensure optimal health.
