HYPOTHETICAL! After seeing the bumblebee grouper at my LFS, I got really interested in groupers...then in large fish in general. Obviously not all of these fish are compatible with each other, but what would be the best combination of as many fish, and how big of a system would I need without crowding, or making it look crowded? 1 means I'd LOVE to keep it; 2 means I'm okay with dropping it if it displaces a 1; 3 means it has a specific role in the tank
