Red Emperor Snapper,
Lutjanus sebae, is a beautiful fish that adapts well to the home aquarium, provided it is given ample space to grow (150-200 gallon minimum.) Its deep red and bright white bands do seem to give it a royal appearance, helping it live up to its Emperor namesake. Multiple juvenile Red Emperors can be placed in the same aquarium (best done simultaneously), but adults are best kept singly. As with other Snappers, any shrimp, snails, or worms; any crustaceans, being part of its natural diet, will likely be eaten. Other meaty frozen preparations will typically be readily accepted. As an active swimmer, it is best to the feed Snappers multiple times daily or, at minimum, a good portion of food daily. A large, well-aerated aquarium and aquarium mates that can not be swallowed whole are essential elements for consideration when adding a member of the Snapper family.
