[pitbullfish]

Thanks I did not know they could be converted .You guys are right .Bump for an awesome fish!!!!!!

very much possible turning a freshwater fish to salt and vice versa.....here is a video of a flowerhorn in full blown saltwater with coral http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xWoZFK4DDY

I don't know if this fish is fw or not, but they can be converted... however, it is far from optimal conditions for the fish. Most of the time within a few months (or sooner) they just stop eating and eventually die. There may be some exceptions to this, but they just generally don't thrive in fw environments.

i "assume" its freshwater since bumble bee groupers in salt would cost 80-90?

$250 is a steal fresh or salt.. they normally go in upwards of $400 at that size.. i dont know where you saw one for $80-$90 but it must have been something different

Update:
He found a home.
He is in a fw tank now approx 100 gallons with red devil, jack dempsey, & some other fish. Idk how long that will last as he will grow quickly out of 100 gallons.

from wiki
The giant grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus), also known as the brindle bass , brown spotted cod , bumblebee grouper and as the Queensland groper in Australia, is the largest bony fish found in coral reefs, and the aquatic emblem of Queensland, Australia. It is found throughout the Indo-Pacific region, with the exception of the Persian Gulf. The species can grow as large as 2.7 meters (9 ft) long, weighing up to 600 kg (1320 lb); there are unconfirmed reports of it growing much bigger. They are fairly common in shallow waters and feed on a variety of marine life, including small sharks and juvenile sea turtles.
They do not move a lot and take up residence in caves. Divers will often approach these fish, yet Giant Groupers have been known to kill humans[citation needed]. This giant fish is similar to an Estuary Cod and colour changes with age. The giant grouper has a large mouth and a rounded tail. Juveniles have irregular black and yellow markings, while adults are green-grey to grey-brown with faint mottling. There are numerous small black spots on the fins.
