WELCOME TO AQUARIA CENTRAL!!!!! You will find wealths of info and the only stupid question is the one not asked. Like what do you want to know? What size tank do you have? In my opinion sharks should not be kept in aquariums, they should roam the Deep Blue Sea where they belong. So I never suggest keeping sharks or rays in captivity. Depending on what grunt you are talking about they all generally school in huge groups in the wild and generally grow to about a foot and a half. Panther Groupers grow well over two feet, almost approaching three feet and need at least a 200 gallon tank. The Marine Betta is very shy and will generally hide in the rock work all day. They will eat most shrimps and crabs. The Emperor Angel should do fine in a FOWLR it just needs a very well established tank (6 plus months) and a lot of micro and macro algae growth. Just let us know if you need any more info. Hope this helps.
