I have two large "Red Hooks". The first has somewhat blue fins. No red at all. It is growing very fast and is the dominant fish in the pack. The first pick. Is this a " Blue Hook"??

The second fish is obviously a Red Hook. I bought from a great LFS where it was alone for months. In the company of others it has bloomed into a Myleus rubiprinnis "Luna". Are these rare? Never seen one before.

1st fish looks like a regular SD to me.
The dark lighting does not show the "hook" real well but it is as long as the others.....I have it with two SD and it is from another planet as far as fins and growth! Here is a better shot of the fins....
