:The body of this little fish is elongated and round. The base colour of the ''B.xanthozonus'' is mustard yellow, with 4 vertical black bands, the first runs over the fishes head near the eye. The next two bands cover the body and slightly on the fins, the final band ends at the start of the caudal fin. The black fades as the fish ages. | :The body of this little fish is elongated and round.
