Juveniles possess a dark black body accented by iridescent blue horizontal stripes, a yellow vertical bar behind the eye, and bright yellow caudal (tail) and white-outlined dorsal and anal fins. As the fish matures into an adult, its body transitions to a tan or yellow hue, maintaining the vivid blue horizontal striping that gives it its common name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile generally \u003cstrong\u003eshy upon introduction\u003c\/strong\u003e, this species will quickly adapt to a stable, mature aquarium environment. It can display semi-aggressive tendencies as it grows, making appropriate tank mate selection important.
