Snooks

[FishAddict74]

Thought I’d share my new green snooks that came in a little while ago. They’re a little smaller than I was expecting but still pretty happy to have found these for sale

Lol they’re a new world cichlid that are called snooks because they resemble marine snooks

Nice! You've completely made the jump to monsters!

I thought you were going to get reds, though?

Thanks, I was hoping for a red and a green, but I couldn’t find any reds anywhere. TUIC had the greens so I just got two of those instead.
I’ve had monsters before, I had a Fahaka that got to be around 15”. He’s the reason I have the 120, that was a straight up scary fish, but I sold it to a guy with a 300 since he didn’t seem to happy in the 120. It’s doing good now, last I heard it’s close to 17”. I had clown knives and pacus when I first got into the hobby in the 80s, but that doesn’t count since I had no idea what I was doing and failed lol

Somewhat, I’ve always liked marine and freshwater predators, reefs, rifties, and oddballs especially puffers. Pretty much anything but small community fish. I tried a community tank at the request of my wife, but she wasn’t into it enough to stick with it. My dream would be to have a huge tank with a school of look down fish
