Panther Grouper: The striking polka dot pattern, unusual body shape, and comical swimming behavior make this fish a fan favorite. Of all the home aquarium grouper species the Cromileptes altivelis is the most tame and playful. This fish can be easily trained to eat out of your hand and will often allow the owner to pet it. A hardy long-lived and peaceful species that will grow rapidly and must be kept in at least a 6’ aquarium as an adult. The Panther Grouper maxes out at 24 inches and requires at least a 180 gallon tank house with tankmates too large swallowed whole. This is a peaceful easy care level fish-only fish.
