Males are larger growing than the females. A dedicated predator in the wild, aquarium-kept fish can be acclimized and will benefit from a varied, quality diet of prepared and pellet foods. A fairly non-aggressive species, (by Central American standards), the Red Bay Snook stocks well in community tanks with other mildly aggressive species, or fish too large to fit in it's mouth. The Red color form is a naturally occuring color morph in the wild, but is less commonly found naturally than the Green color type. Six foot long tanks are recommended for keeping this species.
