The Dark-Banded Fusiliers is a schooling fish and will require a fair amount of open area for swimming. It can hold its own with most other types of marine fish, and in a sense can act as a “dither” fish in a marine aquarium. They will accept meaty foods like Mysis and Krill and should be fed a small amount twice a day.
