White-spotted Grouper
Be the first to add a comment!
This is a really hardy fish, the White-spotted Grouper is not always a real pretty fish, but it's a real survivor!We bought the grouper in our picture above as a White-spotted Grouper. We are not sure what species it is, but it looks to be of the genus Ephiniphelus. There are many fish in the Ephiniphelus genus. We have had this fish for several years and it has stayed the same size, so we believe it is full grown. For more Information on keeping this fish see:
