very nice. looks like you just fed them. there tummys are packed. what are you feeding them? im using crushed flakes and blood worms once in awile for a snack but not to often or they get spoiled and dont hit the flakes as hard.

So far I am feeding them twice a day with crushed flakes. I figure within one or two weeks, once they get a little bigger, I'll start giving them some blood worms and brine. And maybe some daphnia. Their cute little buggers. I wish they would hurry up and just grow! lol I want to see what they will look like already!

im feeding about 5 times a day and doing water changes everyday to powergrow them. i dump in 1 oz of bloodworms and they suck em right down. then they get flakes 3-4 more times per day.
 
way to go fishguts!

I have 2 snooks a little larger than 7" each and I see their tubes dropping and the booties shaking, but I think I may have two males. How can I sex my snooks? They both have the same coloration and fin shapes.

Do you have any side shots of your snook?

Thanks!

i had no idea what my snook was until they spawned and realized it was male but ill take some side shots of him and post them so you can see if there is any difference.

Thanks dude! That's a big boy with room to grow. I have read that males display more orange than females do. I'm pretty sure I have two males because both of my guys look like yours. Thanks
