A few FH questions (RM, SRT, etc.)

[Natalie]

I am pretty new to FH hybrids but am definitely interested in a few specific ones. I've searched this forum but still have a few questions...

- What exactly is a Red Monkey? I know what they look like but can't find info on what the cross is.

- Do female FHs tend to be a lot smaller than males? I am interested in finding a female RM or SRT if at all possible, but would have to keep it in a 55g tank. I know that's definitely wouldn't accomodate a full-grown male, but the biggest female I've heard of was 10" (including fins).

Thanks guys!

Full grown male by himself is fine in a 55gal although the more space the better that goes with any fish but the do fine with it. Females tend to be a bit smalelr but can and will still top out around 10-12'' when fully grown depending on the strain
