Category:Snappers

Snappers are found in both brackish and saltwater. They belong to the family Lutjanidae.

Snappers are found in the tropical and subtropical regions of all the oceans. They can grow to about a meter in length. Most feed on crustaceans or other fish, though a few are plankton-feeders. They can be kept in aquaria, but mostly grow too fast to be popular aquarium fish. They live at depths of up to 450m.

About 100 species of snapper are currently recognised, divided into about 16 genera.
