Hi to all forummers,
I'm new to this Monsters Fishy forum, hence will like to extend a Big "HALO" to all.
Well, I/am from Singapore and happen bump into this forum while searching for Freshwater Bumblebee Grouper!
Of coz, Y m i searching for this????
I happen to see a few FW grouper in a LFS lately, thinking groupers are pure SW species, hence now doin some checks on it.
I'm interested in getting it, however, its quite costly, at over SGD$100/pc.
Any advice from fishkeepers of this species?
I dun mind to set up a 2ft tank first to give it a go, just worried about the dissappointment of seeing a beautiful fish dying.

Well, I have had two friends who got them. One grouper could not make it in freshwater and had to be put in pure saltwater and after that he did great. The other grouper was doing really well in freshwater and when moved to a large tank with other fish it died. I personally have seen some live in freshwater at a LFS for quite a while but the water was more brackish than freshwater. Personally, I dont' think BB groupers will live in freshwater for more than a year, max of two years before you will have to move them in pure saltwater. Theres no evidence of them being in freshwater to adult. There are many species of fish that as juvie's live in freshwater, but then move out to pure saltwater. I think this is the case with the BB grouper and until someone proves me wrong, which no one has, then that's what I believe. So if I were you I would not recommend buying this fish unless you set up a saltwater tank. Also they get as big as VW bugs. hehe
Lets hear from the people who bought these fish a year ago how they are doing and updated pics if any? Li, you started this thread. How's your BB grouper doing now?
