Banana Fish – Pentapodus emeryii

The Banana Fish (Pentapodus emeryii) is violet blue with two electric yellow horizontal stripes. They have a long, slender body and are sometimes known as Double Whiptail Bream, Purple Scolopsis, or the Banana Snapper.

Although Snappers may be popular with seafood enthusiasts, many are also popular aquarium fish. Snappers are usually found more in the open water or higher in the water than many other aquarium fish. The adult fish is often very different in coloration and even shape than juveniles, and many grow too large or active for most home aquariums.
