Red Bay Snook 4"-5"
Product Details
The Red Bay Snook (Petenia splendida) is a striking cichlid native to Central America, renowned for its vibrant red coloration and unique body shape. This species appeals to aquarists seeking a large, visually impressive fish with engaging behaviors. While their beauty is undeniable, Red Bay Snooks require substantial care and space, making them more suitable for intermediate to experienced fishkeepers.
Red Bay Snooks are native to Central America, specifically found in Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize. They inhabit lakes and the lower and middle reaches of large, slow-moving rivers, often around soft-bottomed areas with sandy or muddy substrates. These environments are typically rich in vegetation, providing ample hiding spots and hunting grounds for this predatory species.
Red Bay Snooks are moderately peaceful but can be territorial, especially during breeding. They are predatory and may consume smaller fish, so choosing appropriate tank mates is crucial.
Compatible companions include large cichlids like Jack Dempseys, Silver Dollars, and large Plecos. Always monitor interactions, especially during initial introductions.
Maintain a temperature between 75°F and 86°C, pH levels from 7.0 to 7.5, and water hardness between 10 to 20 dGH.
