Yellowfin Red Snapper

The yellowfin red snapper is a species of fish that lives in the tropical waters of the Indian Ocean. Its body has a deep rosy colour or a reddish-orange hue that fades towards its stomach, which has the lightest colour.
Its pectoral fins are plain yellow, while its pelvic fins are red and the median fins are reddish, sometimes with a yellow undertone. The fins become more transparent towards their edges.
This type of fish lives close to the rocky bottoms of shallow waters, in depths ranging from 70 to 100 meters. It can grow up to 60 centimeters in length, but the common length is around 55 centimeters.
