Thanks, there are 2 young 9" red bay snooks that I grew out from one of my big pairs spawns in there. I believe the 2-3 you are asking about are the wild morph snooks. The fish in the pot is a 16+" Polyphemus Ornaipinnis/

Looks like a big tank, what size is it? So the wild caught Snooks don't have the whitish-pink coloration?
 
Real nice tank.

Nice tank. How do you get food to the ornate ?

He doesn't have time to get much when I feed frozen food. I only do that once a week. The rest of the time I feed sinking pellets and a few fall into the pot and he comes out and grabs a few before the giraffe cat that's in there vacuums everything up. The ornate doesn't move a lot so I don't think it actually requires a lot of food. It's twice the size of when I got it so he's holding his own I guess. I was a little worried about that when I added it to the tank.
 
Kudoos to you for makin it work. I have an ornate that shares a 150 with a pearsei and its damn near impossible to get him food lol and he isnt a hider always out and about
