Description: The Emperor Snapper is an awesome fish with white and deep red striping. A great option for beginner aquarists as they will readily accept pellets and meaty frozen foods. However this is a very fast growing fish, growing about an inch per month, so be ready to upgrade it's tank. Do not mix with smaller fish, as the Emperor Snapper will eat anything that can fit in it's mouth.
