Tiger Scat reaching 10", going brackish?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Nice Tiger Scat and Panther Grouper. That's the smallest Panther Grouper I've ever seen ?

Ty! Haha seriously right? I remember back in the day they'd sell them this small at Petco but usually when u see them now they're always a good 4-5" range. Only down side about him being so tiny is I was scared the tiger scat would start beating him up but good thing about this size is I can keep salinity lower and work everyone up to full marine.

Mmmmm, never heard of success in keeping panther grouper in brackish or fresh. Even the thread you listed doesn’t go on to keep it in anything other than full salt (unless I missed it) .

would think it’s easier moving everything to the lower limits of full salt if you want to keep true marine species but converting that scat will take a while at that size.
I trust your panther isn’t turning up any time soon cos that will need some acclimatising, especially if it’s coming from full marine and your gonna try brackish.
keep us updated.
another (larger) fish you can put in brackish are the shark catfish that are often sold for fresh water. They need salt as they grow too, but you might need to find some bigger ones.

Sup I got the panther in today so far looking good! Mostly hiding still not sure what to feed since it's so small maybe chopped up krill? live guppies/mollies?
Sure they can eat anything when they're big but what's good for 2.5" size?

Also found another old thread for them in fresh/brackish looks like they're popular in australia -

** Started a new thread this afternoon since technically now tank is brackish!
