Emperor Snapper

[Predator 1]

Here is a picture of my Emperor Snapper. He shares the system with other Snapper speciese, and Groupers, Triggers, Arothrons, and Volitans.
The Emperor has an appetite to match the Groupers, so feeding is no problem. They are a fairly peaceful fish, but are able to hold there own during a tear-up.

^ you ever get those pics?? I saw a couple of juvenile emperors at the LFS today and I think I'm falling in love......

I bought one of these at a LFS that someone brought in because it out grew their tank. It was 6" and I think it has grown in 6 weeks, it has a huge appatite like my grouper and he is in my 150 but I have a 375 that will be set up soon

How fast do they grow? I could probably comfortably house it up to around 2', but it'll be a few years before I'm settled in my own house with a tank big enough for a 2'+ fish.

aw but hes just a baby

we have 2 at work and they are about 3 feet long already

not sure how long we've had them

marine fish grow slower than fresh IMO you sould get a few years before he hits 24''

edit to my first post:
i meant 500 not 300

Heres mine, Just upgraded him into a 150g. Hes about 7". When he gets to big for my tank I have a SW store around called Aquarium Technologies [Columbia Station, OH]
that has a 675gal setup that will take him.
Hes in the tank with a grouper, a niger trigger, a larger volitan, a yellow tang, a hawk and a snowflake moray and doesn't bother them at all. But man, he eats me outta house and home.
