BI-COLOR PARROTFISH 2-3" Cetoscarus bicolor

Parrotfish require multiple daily feedings of a varied omnivore diet that should include great portions of algae and seaweed sheets.

The color of the Bicolor Parrotfish changes with maturity. As a juvenile, the coloration is white with an orange band across the face, and orange at the dorsal and caudal fins.
