Description
Panther Groupers are often purchased for their cute clownfish like swimming patterns. It should be noted that the cute little grouper is going to grow up to be almost 28 inches long quite quickly! This charmer is a great addition to a fish only community that consists of other large size fish. The Panther Grouper will practically ignore every other fish in the tank providing it can’t eat it..
Groupers are ambush predators and will spend much of their time hiding and watching for easy prey. Groupers should be housed in large aquariums with good filtration. Caution should be considered when adding this animal to a community tank as it will eat any fish or crustacean that may fit in it’s mouth.
Diet
Feed a varied diet consisting of large chunks of meaty foods. These foods include krill, raw table shrimp, squid, clam and mussel. It is also a good idea to occasionally supplement with some type of herbivore diet.
