| I have had my panther grouper for about 2 years now. I have him in a 180 gallons and he is huge! They grow really fast. I feed my panther grouper pellets which he loves. I give him feeder gold fish as a treat sometimes and I also give him squid, which he also loves. My panther grouper is my favorite fish in my tank. he has a real personality.
