Bought this clown grouper for my 150-gallon tank. It’s active and bold, which is exactly what I wanted. I’ve kept it with larger fish and it hasn’t attacked them. Just make sure the tank is big enough and avoid small fish.

Arrived healthy and well-packed. The fish is active and shows good color. I’ve noticed it’s more aggressive than expected, so I’ve removed any small shrimp or snails from the tank.

It’s a strong fish and fits well in a large tank. I didn’t expect it to be so territorial, so I’ve adjusted the layout to give it space. Works okay with a few larger fish.
