Yellow Parrotfish

The term "Yellow Parrotfish" can refer to several different fish species, but it most commonly refers to the Yellowfin Parrotfish (Scarus flavipectoralis). This fish is known for its yellow pectoral fins, particularly in the terminal (adult male) phase. They also have a blue-green stripe from the snout to the pectoral fin base and can grow up to 30 cm long. Other fish, like the Stoplight Parrotfish (Sparisoma viride), can also have yellow coloration, especially in certain phases or as juveniles. Additionally, the "Yellow Parrot Cichlid" is a freshwater aquarium fish, a man-made hybrid.
