Free, to anyone who will take it. I will even deliver if you are local.

Oh yeah, it is a 10"-12" Panther Grouper. I had to pull it out of a clients 90g. If anyone knows of any large tanks, that could house this fish please ask if they would be interested. I would hate to have to destroy such a beautiful and healthy fish. (how do panther grouper taste...??)(just kidding)

Maybe post on the FO/agressive forum, if there are no takers here. Also You may be able to sell/donate it to a LFS.

What about a public aquarium? Most are looking for things all the time...

In Asia the Panther grouper is a food fish that is raised at farms. They taste great!

I never eaten a Panther Grouper, but when I was in Fla. grouper fillets sure tasted good.

Yeah, I bet it would taste great broiled.

Let's see, according to the TV shows recently he should be happy in my 2.5g tank, and I have some spare table salt!!

NO DAVE its 1" per gallon so you'd need a 15g tank that way he'd have room to grow! :D

Oh all right, I'll setup the 20g QT tank, but that leaves me with some extra room. Can I put a tang in with him? :p

Skyedolphan, that would be great!!
I may see if the NEAQ wants it, but I have heard they are not to wiiling to take in fish. I know they would not take a 3 foot nurse shark.
He came out of a 90g FOWLR/Psuedo Reef, and is now sitting in a 65g I have running. He has to go within a few weeks. Or it may be barbecue time. Hey Tstone, you up for some BBQ grouper :D
I would bring him into TI but I don't think Mr. London would be to happy with me.

That is exactly what I do not want to happen.
I would sooner destroy(or BBQ) the fish, then send it to a life of utter hell. Although, once it was taken from the wild it was doomed to a life of hell, no matter what tank it ends up in.

Hey B, not that I can take it or anything, but can you post a pic? Also did you post anywhere else, I really don't want to hear how this guy tasted.
