Napoleonfish

The Napoleonfish, more widely known in society as the Humphead Wrasse, is a big, brilliant, blue and hard-to-come-by fish in the series with a distinctive humped head along with small green indented eyes that look like eyelashes. It is one of the very large sized Ocean-going fish, and has an expensive price tag also. Like most other oceanic fish, the Napoleonfish appears in the back tank when placed in the museum. It appears in and.

"Hoo, my good gracious! What size! What majesty! What impact this fish has! When fully grown, the body of this fish can reach a length of over 80 inches, eh wot? The beady eyes and pouty mouth make it appear a bit dull witted...which I find rather charming!"

The Napoleonfish can be found lazing around near the bottom of the ocean fish tank at the back of the fish exhibit.

Further information
The Napoleonfish is the largest Wrasse species (family Labridae), and one of the largest coral reef fish. Today, this specific creature is better known as the Humphead Wrasse, but in a few places it is called the Napoleon or Maori Wrasse. Males may reach up to 6 feet/2 metres in length, while females are half the size. Humphead Wrasse have become endangered due to overfishing, where juveniles are captured and raised until they reach a larger size, where they are sold. While it can live for up to 30 years (25 for males), its slow breeding rate puts it in danger if its numbers decline too greatly. Like its relatives, it is born female and may change gender around a decade old.

It has no direct relation to the Bumphead Parrotfish, Bolbometopon muricatum.
