theres an even BIGGER one at ocean blue in orange, ca. its awesome
 
Thats a Queensland Grouper. They get HUGE. like 9' and about 900lbs
so the 300 gallon tank is a laugh. this is a fish that should not be for sale except to a public aquarium,zoo ect... I took care of 2 at my last job. they were about 80lbs each and are real monster eaters. (they were in a 200,000 tank with lots of other large SW predators)
 
Shipping @ $39.99 ha ha ha, he does'nt know what the real cost of shipping it would be. The BB grouper at my shop (his name is HAM) is a little bit smaller than this one. He's probably @ 27"-28". Very loveable fish. Has tons of personality. Makes a great pet if you can ultimately provide him with a big tank.

wow, where did you work?
 
The Aquarium of Nashville, its a restaurant that is centered around sw fish. it has 2 6000 gallon tanks and a 200,000 tank. Last one we had opened was in Denver and its its a 500,000 gallon shark tank and 2 250,000 mixed tanks.
 
scientific name is Epinephelus lanceolatus. I guess bumblebee grouper is a common lfs name. I wouldnt know as we only called the fish by the real name.
 
there's one over 3' in fl...shop call fish collection in north miami beach...i know the owner and the manager there well...we use to feed dead fish like oscars and pacos....it was living in a sump that runs the entire store...beautiful fish
