Red Banded Hi-Fin — Cirrhilabrus rubrisquamis
The Cirrhilabrus rubrisquamis Red Banded Hi-Fin is a vibrant reef fish known for its elongated dorsal fin and striking red banding along a pearlescent body. Energetic and active, it swims gracefully through the mid- to upper-water column, adding dynamic color and movement to reef aquariums. Generally peaceful, it thrives in small groups or pairs and coexists well with other non-aggressive species, making it a captivating addition to community tanks.
Red Banded Hi-Fins thrive in mature reef tanks with stable water parameters, ample swimming space, and moderate flow. Introduce them only after the system is established to reduce stress and ensure proper acclimation. A minimum tank size of 55 gallons is recommended to accommodate their active swimming and potential growth.
Their diet should include high-quality frozen or pellet foods from San Francisco Bay Brand, Hikari, PE, TDO, and New Life Spectrum. Multiple small feedings per day support natural foraging behavior and vibrant coloration.
Approximate product size: 2"–3" (varies by availability)
