Red Bay Snook?

[damo83]

Hi folks,

I was just after some help as to whether my snook is a red or green... and if anyone knows what sex? Size is 6-7" nose to tail...

Sorry about the dodgy pic... the bugger doesn't stay still when the cameras out.

Thanks
Damo

Wow, you got a hold of an elusive regular morph Snook. They seem to be very rare in the hobby now days. I used to want a pair but never could find any finally gave up. Sorry I can't sex it for you without venting, maybe someone else knows how.

definitely a regular morph. though i guess it isn't a morph if thats what they normally look like. agreed about venting to sex for now.

It looks 100% to me. Why do you ask?

Thanks guys... while I'm a little annoyed that the store is selling them as red snooks I'm not disappointed that its a regular. I'll have to have a read up on venting americans and see if I can sex it myself.

Funnily enough the regular snooks are aren't that uncommon over here... they are probably more common than the reds from what I've seen around in the shops.

Thanks again
