Hi All,

I have a 75G tank and I have been keeping both salt water and fresh water aquarium for a long time.

I am running out of ideas on what fresh water can I keep. I want something special.

Currently I have discus in my 75G tank.

I was researching Grouper fish. But I could not find any fresh water grouper fish or any grouper fish that won't group too big.

Any idea or suggestions? Thanks
 
How about a gulper catfish instead. That's the first thought that came in my head.

What other freshwater fish interest you?

By the welcome to the forum.

Two different fish but I thought a gulper has an impressive appetite and be good in a 75g.
 
Thanks for your reply. I just Googled gulper catfish and I don't like it. It does not look good.

I like Asian aro, but it is illegal here in the state and the price is ridicules. I thought about Pirahnas, but they are shoaling fish and need a big tank as well. Its like all the fish that I like are I can't have. It sucks.

So you guys sound like there is no fresh water Grouper out there? I was thinking about Tiger Oscar, but that's cichlid family and it's pretty common as well.
 
There are bumblebee groupers that are acclimated to freshwater but I don't think it'll last long in a 75g.

If there are other grouper then I'm not aware and can't help you. Sorry!

So many fish I wish I could have myself as well.

If a tiger Oscar reminds you of a grouper and you're like it then get it although 76g will be tight.
 
I keep a tiger oscar and green severum in my 75g. A combo that might not work all the time, but's it's been successful for me. Feed a quality pellet food lightly and keep water temps to the lower side.
 
A 75G will be too small for one Oscar fish? I used to have one in a 20G tank. A tiger Oscar will only grow to 10" in captivity, right?

I was watching the monster fish on Wild Life, it was all about grouper fish. Damn those fish can get so big!
 
75g would be ok for one Oscar. For some reason I thought u were looking for additional fish. The grouper thing threw me off.

Grouper are cool. Fish for them all the time.
 
I was talking about the Wild Life TV program a few days. They were showing scientists were trying to catch a monster size Grouper fish in the sea. They caught one which is 9' in length if I remember correctly. That was when my Grouper keeping bug was born after I watched that program.

But I am still need to do some more research to see if there is any other fish that I may interested to keep.
