hey AF!

Recently has the new BBG that was in stocks.

I was wondering is that the only species that can be converted to FW?
Anyone has any other exp with other species of grouper?

have a great wet sunday!

I've heard of other groupers, like the panther grouper, being converted to freshwater.
Never heard any long term experiences though... Eventually the BBG will have to be moved to salt water.
They are only tolerant of freshwater while young, and move into saltier water as they grow.
