I have 2 Red Hooks,1 is about 6 inches,the other is about 5 inches.I had them in with a larger Pacu,i got rid of the Pacu about 3 weeks ago and since then the larger Hook hasent eaten anything.The smaller 1 eats like a pig.What could be causing this,what can i do to change this??

Howdy,

Red Hooks not eating is quite unusual. Try offering some greens, e.g. lettuce that you quickly (2 sec) dipped into boiling water. Use a veggie clip to offer it at medium depth of your tank.

You could also offer small 2-3" live earthworms.

or crickets. Mine loved crickets, too.
