That was cool...........

Gotta say, watching my panther grouper eat is pretty cool! I put in some thrawed out crab meat, it was like he stalked his food, waited behind a rock and then BAM took the huge piece in his mouth in one goulp! Pretty cool thing to watch! And hes only about 3/4 of an inch MAX right now!

 

sweet.. try and film it next time..

 

OKay cool i def will, he does it everytime!! Very interesting to watch, esp the speed at which he charges the food is lighting quick!

 

awesome. my friend had one of those. they are beasts. and they look incredible at younger ages.

 

Yea hes amazing looking right now! The black and white are so vibrant! Hes so small but he def eats like a beast!

 

I hope you plan to keep him alone or with fish like puffers, lionfish and triggers. They will grow rapidly and eat peacful fish larger than themselves in a heartbeat! Groupers are beautiful but not a good tankmate at all.

 

Yes this i know not really new to his lol yea hes about 3/4 on an inch and is in a 55 alone for now, i have a 125 0r 150 in the basement that will be home to him and a lion and maybe a dragon eel in the near future. Once he gets huge im donating him to the muesums 1500 gallon pred tank

 

I had one in a 180 and he was cool but he sure wiped out his tankmates over time. I also had a blue mineatus(?) grouper that was even neater but just as hungry!

 

HAHAH yea they are beast!!!! i love the look thou, so for 12 bucks i could NOT pass it up

 

cool fish Oceanparadise

the colours and alos the simming style, gracefull yet efficient predators
I had one in a 4ft tank and was shocked ! the growth rate could be measured in terms of weeks and not months, for some reason this fish seemed to grow at a rate that was nothing like anything I had experienced before

I panicked by month 3 and took it back to be honest it had gone from maybe 2 inches to over 6 inches in that short time

I had read up on it, knew it would not be a permenent resident in that tank
but was honestly shocked by how temporary , temporary became

Amazing fish and nature gave them great odds of survival with that speed of growth
