my red hook

My Redhooks eat like they're Pacus. They gorge themselves.

Nice shrhomburgki, you are lucky to get one past 10".

Yea, that's not a true redhook, but its still a great dollar.... ive had my redhook for about a month1/2 and it has already grown at least 1/2 an inch

correction the black bar silver dollar M. schlomburgkii according to fishbase max size is 37 cm way over a foot and for M. rubripinnis the red hook 39 cm way over a foot too.

Take a look at the monster redhooks at the Shedd in Chicago,truly monsters well over a foot in length........Let me see if I have the pics still...

BTW I'm so jealous of those Black bars, nice pick up

nice pick up.. when you see something that doesn't come around too often, sometimes you just gotta pull the trigger.

 

[Cichla dude]

Those are nice SD"s!

 

[Bogwoodbruce]

not a red hook its a M. Schromburgki!

 

[brcacti]

Yes those are not red hooks although from pics I have seen that black bar silver dollars (Myleus schlomburgkii) can and often do get the red anal fin like M. rubripinnis
