Very Large Red Hooks

[marconi]

Video of my group of Red Hooks. I've had these guys around 5 years now and they have gotten huge. Largest is around 10 inches.

Beautiful tank. Excellence. I've never seen any w the yellow spots. Do they get those later or did they always have them?

Thank you These guys had no spots on them as juveniles. I've seen on here (MFK) some people classify them as "Luna", maybe a particular kind of Red Hook....not sure. I have seen large red hooks without the spots too...so it makes me believe that it might have something to do with the local of these fish but again I'm not 100%...I'll wait for a Red Hook Pro to chime and give us their thoughts lol.

They look great. I think they look much better at this large size than when they're smaller, especially with these spots and color.

Very nice RH... Do you have an actinic bulb/bulbs to make the yellow and orange spots glow?

I'm using 2 Zoo Med Flora Sun bulbs...regular T12. They have a pinkish hew that brings out all the fishes natural colour...many bulbs wash out a fishes colour.

Anyone give me an idea of how much red hooks cost at about 2in in diameter on average?

None on Aquabid, but Snook21 has Tiger SDs for 30 bucks each which is a steal compared to the next cheapest at 75. Email Snook21 he had some RH and still might just not listed.
There is some members selling RH in the Marketplace here.
