strange killer tetra?

[candidpets]

If i take it i have to have the right set up, he has had it a long time like a year in a 50 and its only grown 3 inches if it was one of those giants would it not have grown bigger?

just anytime it goes into a big tank like 150 gallon it starts to eat scales off of other fish it even killed and tore apart a syno catfish so has teeth

i don't think this fish is meant to be in any pet store it is not marine like a snook and no way in hell is it a red bay snook they dont eat scales like that and they grow so fast and are orange

The red bay snook is Petenia splendida. The following fish are all Petenia splendida. Just different color morphs:

I think he has the true snooks in mind.

This will add to the confusion:



This pic displays 4 different snook species; Common Snook (top), Tarpon Snook, Swordspine Snook and Fat Snook (bottom)

For comparison with the OP's pic, here are a couple of juvie snook (Centropomus sp.)
