Mine is around 10", but I bought it at around 3 - 4" and it had already had it's red color by then.

I am not 100% positive, but I believe that there are different strains of Bay Snook Cichlids. My understanding is that the "red" is one strain, but that there are other strains not red. I would love to see a pic of the Grey snook if you have one!
