Blue Line Snapper (Lutjanus kasmira)
The Blue Line Snapper is a striking and active reef fish, instantly recognizable by its bright yellow body accented with vivid horizontal blue stripes running from head to tail. Known for its schooling behavior and energetic swimming, it brings color and life to large marine aquariums, especially when kept in groups. Its bold appearance and lively personality make it a favorite among aquarists seeking dynamic tank inhabitants.
Size: Typically grows up to 10 inches in length
Country of Origin: Indo-Pacific region, including Hawaii, the Indian Ocean, and parts of Southeast Asia
Latin Name: Lutjanus kasmira
Care Level: Moderate – thrives in well-established aquariums with stable water conditions, ample swimming space, and rockwork for shelter
Blue Line Snappers are carnivores that feed on small fish, crustaceans, and meaty marine foods. In captivity, they readily accept mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and finely chopped seafood. They are not reef safe, as they may prey on smaller tankmates and can disturb invertebrates, but their schooling behavior and striking coloration make them an exciting addition to fish-only or large mixed-species marine aquariums.
