It's a juvenile Queensland Grouper, Epinephelus lanceolatus. They dont really make good pets... punch the scientific name into Google images and you'll see why...

Seriously? These fish reach nearly 9 feet and can weigh close to 900 pounds. Your aro would be just a small snack between truckloads of food.

Not to mention the size tank to house one

That would be a grouper. Unless you catch one and plan on having it for dinner (is this species even legal to eat? lol), stay away from it!

Moved to other monster fish

it's a grouper, everyone is right very bad choice...

Who told you that bichirs would attack an aro ??? they are out to lunch lol Or they were assuming you were talking about a small arowana. Mine ive with several bichirs ranging rom 10" up to 22-24". Bichirs are one of the few tank mates i'd recommend with an arowana.


also "fresh water groupers" are not a true fresh water fish, they also are far to large for any home aquarium.
