what do they eat?

Mine used to take cut up shrimp and tilapia. Then took pellets. Easily can be broken.

hi how is this fish 35 each and on the site its 65 did the price go up or is it a mistake also do people stock these in golf course fresh water ponds or to have at home in a tank curious I heard my friend say he has a secret lake stocked with these type of snooks

@jeff_fishingfun , the price was $35 in 2018 when this thread was posted so yes there has been a price increase.

@kno4te bought some a few years ago for his tank.

They are In Florida too. Seem to be in brackish waters. Had a few but lost them. Got some from seagrest and from aquascape. Want to get them again. Currently not available on the aquascape website. If it’s $65 then that’s a good deal. Went for more years ago. Really cool fish.

Not really, you mentioned you bought 6 in post #8 of this thread. My memory is actually not that good. ?
