Wow, hes beautiful. Looks very healthy! Where did you find such a big grouper? I usually see them for sale quite small. I have never seen your tank, how big is it? What other groupers do you have? Nice fish!

i got him from golds in calgary, hes been hidden away for a long time disposing of any dead fish in the store, his eyes are very cloudy and had some specks on them i would guess possibly ich but either way hes getting treated and im soaking all his food in garlic and vitamins,as for what kind of grouper i guess hes called a speckeled grouper epinephelus cyanopodus but thier is another grouper thats very simular looking wich he might be as well, their very nice looking when small but i couldnt find a pic of the juvi colours anywhere.
his new tank is gonna be the 300g i build a few months ago with a emperor snapper,black spotted grouper and a panther grouper. http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=36511  i had 2 leaflip groupers in thier also but removed them cause they couldnt compeate for food, and the yellow tang is also getting removed for its own safety

do grupers get along well with eachother? i didnt think they did. nice purchase i have always wanted a coral grouper but they get so big i swear you almost need a 1000 gal tank and a large bank roll for food.

after losing a tankfull of fish a couple years ago i qt every fish i get now,ive never had problems with groupers fighting but i dont think id try 2 of the same type,although i did end up with 2 leaflip groupers and when i added them together they buddied up right away, im thinking i should name his just cause hes gonna be such a presence in the tank but im not shure what yet,

Good Lord what are you going to feed that thing, German Shepherds ???? I think I know what's next for you: find a house with a swimming pool. Then go buy a whole lotta salt buckets .......
 No seriously, that's very neat. My hat is off to you, best of luck. Go big or go home, they always say .... I see you've found a way to do both.
