RARE : Freshwater Grouper - MFK Exclusive!!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
its a bumblebee
 
its the giant queensland grouper, e. lanceolatus, that is correct. These are pure freshwater, I use crushed coral substrate for a lot of my tanks. The fish seen is kept with my venezuelan peacock bass and datnoids, and paroon sharks, so you can see its in fresh. This fish is already 14", its a sub-sub adult, considering how large they eventually get. These fish are bred in freshwater so they can be kept in freshwater, they are more sensitive to water changes, but if you provide them with a stable environment, they can live to adulthood in freshwater. Wild ones out of Australia are prohibited from export, you'll see captive bred juvies from time to time, and still not an inexpensive fish. This is the holy grail of Monster Fish Keepers!

How do you know these are being bred? have any concrete information? any pictures of freshwater breeding facilities?

I need more info then just your opinion. Surely a man of your class understands this.

News flash...

I did mentioned in my thread that I found out my fish is:

Epinephelus lanceolatus

from FishBase (please see the second page of my fish loss thread) and it is mentioned to be a full SW fish...

man...i am dead confuse now....
 
I guess since Fugupuff said they're sensitive to water changes, RockyGoldy yours died from the change of environment from the tank at the lfs to yours.

I need one of those now... :D
