Well like it or not your tank is full, that grouper was a really bad idea. They don't have to get big to cause problems, they can be territorial and aggressive at smaller sizes. Your other fish may take a pretty good beating from this guy. They also grow very fast, that fish will be 4 or 5 inches long in under 6 months if cared for properly.

I picked up a 1" baby panther grouper (I will sell it when it gets to big)
Where are you going to sell that monster? The LFS doesn't want it back and I'll bet that there less than 20 people in Calgary who have systems that could support it. What you've done is very irresponsible, you will have a difficult time finding a good home for this fish. You need an 8 foot by 3 foot tank for this thing.

I realize that you may be new to this hobby and might not understand the mistake you just made. Please take this as a constructive suggestion rather than a flame. Maybe you got some bad advice from somewhere, I'd suggest that you do more research in the future before you buy livestock.
