very aggressive. Only reach a foot long. Here's a pic of an adult. Anything else?
pretty impressive looking grouper. reason asking is ive got the chance to get a medium size one (looks to be 4-6 inches). The guys askin price is 50, but im sure i can knock that down a bit. Kinda worried he might take a shot at my clown trigger since hes only 3inches. The guy who has him says hes real shy so i dont know.
your choice. the trigger on your clown though will prevent the grouper from eating it. Thats the costs of predators... trail and error
I agree with both comments. My groupers ignore my clown trigger completely, and it must be due to the trigger mechanism. It is indeed down to trial and error with predators. I have had a grouper eat my barracuda, then my green moray ate the grouper. You just never know what might happen next.
I got a 4" Miniatus(similar aggression to a blue-line) and a 3" Clown Trigger in the same tank (120), along with a 22" Snowflake eel. The Miniatus has never bothered the Clown, and vice-versa. Groupers are "flash" feeders; they sit fairly still until food is in the tank; at which point they make a flash attack toward the food. I try and feed the Miniatus first(different food) and then the Trigger.
never housed personally but with any grouper the bigger the tank the better even when they recommend a specific tank size I still say at least 75 gallons more.
