I was told that these groupers are not freshwater but salt..they can (Smaller ones) survive for a period of time in blackish water though...not sure on the larger boys...I've seen this guy at lucky and thought he was in a salt water tank as he was there by himself not with the silver....neat looking fish.

I've also heard the same thing about them starting fresh and turning to salt later. They are great looking fish and I would love to have one if they were fully fresh for life. I would be worried it would eat my tank.

There's a guy on mfk who converted one to full fresh water. Took a year to go from full on salt to full on fresh.

I've owned one of these in a saltwater setup, and didn't do my homework on them, but i learned really quick that they have a huge appetite because it started eating its tankmates. The largest to be caught i believe was a 9 footer, but the average is around 6 feet. One would need a massive tank to house this fish for life.
