Can anyone tell me their experiences with Red Hooks. They look so cool. I guess they are a notch up on the Silver Dollar. Are they easy to care for and how big do they get?

- Thread starter Pankakes

as for care treat them just like a regular SD, the size I am not a 100% on but I think it ranges from 8-12"s. but from what I have found once they reach 6"s then they start to grow pretty slow.
They are great, look more interesting and definitely get much larger. You should look into Black Bar SD's as well....
I had a group of 7 for a while. They grew very quickly. They will eat anything you put in the tank and are pretty messy. IMO they shouldn't be in anything less that a 6 foot tank. They are easy to care for. They do spook pretty easily with sudden movements, but they are out and pretty active most of the time.
Aye, SD's are awesome fish for cichlids, or just a display tank thats for sure. I've got two bleeding heart SD's right now, absolutely love them. Can't find any more though....
