Blueline Snapper - Lutjanus quinquelineatus

The Blueline Snapper is a captivating fish from the Snapper family, known for its vibrant yellow body adorned with striking blue lines. These snappers can reach up to 15 inches in length and thrive in tanks of at least 100 gallons. They are social creatures, preferring the company of other snappers, and are generally peaceful, coexisting well with similarly sized fish.

While not ideal for reef tanks due to their appetite for essential invertebrates, Blueline Snappers are carnivorous and require a diet rich in meaty foods like silversides, mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and krill. With the right tank conditions and companions, they can be a colorful and engaging addition to a fish-only aquarium.
