Wow I remember pics when you just got them. How big is your tank? And what are you feeding. My ERH's grew about an inch in 6 months in a 100 gallon with nothing but NLS pellets.
Just picked up 3 Emperor Red Hooks

I'm glad those EBH's are putting on size for you. Like I said, if you feed them often they will explode in the growth department especially with your feeding schedule. You can literally see them grow from week to week at that size.
This tank is a 72x18x30 growout.Allan01230;4494034; said:
I am feeding them fresh market shrimp, FD mysis shrimp, Omega Veggie/super color/natural form with garlic, Cyclop-eeze wafers, Cyclop growth promoter whole freeze dried, Salmon flakes, small crushed pieces of Massivore, and FD krill, cucumbers on occasion and scallops on occasion.
Yes these guys do have a gold tint to them. At first I was not going to buy them cause of the gold tint. That made me think that these fish were on meds and the water was yellowish. But I was dead wrong and the hooks on these guys are sick.keepinfish;4494053; said:
I love raising fish. Buying large ones are cool but I like observing their behavior as they grow. I noticed fish are like dogs. They are more active as youngsters/puppies then get larger and lazy. Well kind of like us humans.
