Panther Grouper

[trio91]

Also if it comes to being to big there is a store in boca by my house called predatory fins that I'm sure would be happy to house him

Does PF house Saltwater fish? I thought it was only Freshwater.

Well guess what ? Your government is doing the same thing to you , me , us. Oh well , its called the circle of life . And mankind playing God and it's been going on before any of us were even around . I buy fish because I like to have them around me and enjoy their beauty and care for them and they make me happy to see living things prospering and living happily under my care and I'm sure I'm far from the only one .

How did that work out for the clown and your anemone?

I'm on a forum interacting with other fish keepers to share perspectives and knowledge but sadly the majority of members here aren't here to enlighten but more so to criticize, naysay, and point and wag their fingers at other fishkeepers/ hobbyists.

You are very defensive. It is really pretty likely that the other people in this thread are doing the same as you say you are doing, sharing perspectives and knowledge, but you seem bent because some aren't agreeing with you - which seems like a you issue.

Not defensive at all Mr . Interacting with you the pros and you the jokers is all the same for me . I enjoy making some of your days light up when you get to post some sort of witty comment or reply that others stand behind and or "like" . This is not an emotional thing for me it's just a forum that I read , write , and learn from and occasionally am entertained by. It's all the perfect combination of entertainment and honestly I am appreciative of all the feedback , bad and good .

This thread should be closed. It has strayed way too far from constructive and a contribution to R2R.

Let's get the thread back on track please. Any back and fourth or fighting or mindless banter will be removed. Remember keep it friendly.

Thank you

Bought some ghost shrimp today and The panther loves them only thing is I hope they dont die before i can feed them all to him because they are brackish water and all i have to keep them in is a bio cube 10 gallon salt water tank

Panther groupers have no place in our hobby. You wouldn't buy a Great Dane if you lived in a tiny apartment. Panther groupers get over three feet. Crazy.

So I moved my panther grouper into a 5 gallon nano ... he seems to love it so far !

I had a fat snowflake clown get snatched by an angler...I know they’re not the same as dogs..but I was so mad at the angler. The clown would come to the glass every time I walked by. I’m a sissy that gets really attached to my fish and feel terrible when they go to the big ocean in the sky. Not because of money lost or because they were cool. I feel bad because they get brought into this trade and I’ve “failed” them

I know alot people gave you slack but don't feel alone I have one also. He's 4 years old and a model citizen. He shares the tank with 2 maroon clowns, a chromis, a filefish & a foxface. He did eat a sixline wrasse. I feed him a piece of frozen shrimp and/or a piece of littleneck clam and he's about 5".

“He did eat a sixline wrasse.” Ooops! (Lol—That hit my funny-bone.) I am sure he is an awesome fish to have. Best wishes!

 

[Mical]

Not a problem, lol (six line WAS kind of a jerk...lol) Our Panther Grouper affectionately named "Spot" was a gift from my gf who thought he was cute, and he is. As some mentioned they're like a dog, I can literally pet him & I hand feed him. And so far he is growing at a slower pace than I expected. He grows about an inch a year.
