Scientific name: Caesionidae
Fusiliers, belonging to the family Caesionidae, are a group of reef-associated fish known for their elongated bodies and vibrant colors, often blue or yellow. They are active swimmers and typically form large schools, which can be a captivating sight in a spacious aquarium. Fusiliers are generally peaceful and can coexist with a variety of other fish species, making them suitable for community tanks. They feed on plankton and small invertebrates, so a diet rich in these nutrients is essential for their health. Their schooling behavior and striking appearance make them a popular choice among aquarists looking to add movement and color to their reef tanks.
