RED HOOK SILVER DOLLORS WHY SO MEAN ???

[dirtyblacksocks]

To be honest I've never seen a red hook as large as a dinner plate, or anywhere near that size. They are fast growers and do get larger than normal silver dollars, though.

Hello,

From reading the above posts, can I assume that because the fins on my yellow hooks are not long then they will not grow larger than 6"? On my current stocking level I have allowed for them getting to 8".

You could send me your red hooks and I'll grow them out as large as a dinner plate

LOL, a kind offer but I would rather have the pleasure of growing them on myself.

I've never seen any 12" (which I think is the size of a dinner plate) but I did have 1 that was 9" and 1 that was 8". They were that size when I got them, I ended up giving them back to the same shop I got them from, they were just too spastic and wild.
I don't even know the proper latin name for the 'real' Red Hooks. Most people (me previously) assume that Red Hooks are just the ones with the red hooks. But some of the common Silver Dollars have red hooks, too, so it gets confusing. I don't much care for them and just use them for clean-up duty.
ThatPetPlace says they get to 16" (http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/prod/213737/i/7/product.web), I'd have to see it to believe it though.
