I would like if someone could confirm the validity of the above statements.

Also, I need to know everything about these fish, especially their conspecific temperments, and sexual differences.

Again, as always, personal experience is valued.

Thank you.
 
The panther grouper, wow what a fish. Well I had one and it grows very big very fast, so the bigger the tank the better. They have a small mouth, so it will not eat most things, but if a fish is a little bit bigger than his mouth, he will still go for it. I am not sure about sexual differences, but mine would sometimes pick on a trigger, but my guy finally turned around and bit him and the problem was solved. He ate freeze dried krill and frozen silversides. I hope I answered your questions, but if not just let me know.
 
would you say liveaquaria hit it dead on?

and what specific comments would you like to say about the species?
how large of a tank, AAAAALLL that good stuff.

Thanks.
 
Yes I would say Live aquaria hit it pretty close. All I can say for the tank size is the bigger the better because I had to get rid of my guy before he got full size. Also he was a good fish, couldn't tell the difference of fingers and food, but he did recognize me as the feeder of the tank, so that was cool. Over all cool fish that grows extrmley fast.
