Going to the lfs saturday to get a fish! What one though?

[cartman101]

Should i get a grouper or lion??????????? :notsure:

I called up the lfs and they said they had a *Lottie grouper (* not sure how to spell that), never seen a *Lottie groper before.

 

[cartman101]

HOLY SH*T!!!!!!!!!!! Screw the lottie grouper i just looked it up. Very beautiful fish

But guess what! It getts to be about 3ft long and needs a 300gal tank! :scared:

why dont you get it for until it outgrows your tank

 

[cartman101]

i dunno, i'm still debating :joy:
lionfish= 80% (looks like i may purchase the lion)
grouper=20%

I think I'd go with the Lion. What type of Lion would you get?

Why get a fish you know you can't keep its whole life? What if your parents had you with the idea that once you got so big they would trade you in for the next cool looking kid they saw?

actully i'm thinking about getting a lion, they also had a miniatus gropuer to! Yeah i wasn't planning on getting the 3 footer grouper. I'm probably going to get a volitan

So what's the plan when it outgrows the tank? Not sure if you are kidding or serious?

 

[traybomb]

so cartman... is this for the shark tank?

If they had a panther grouper I'd get that.

 

[schulace12]

get grouper man, so many people have lions. not that many poelpe have minitas, it would be really cool, and there color is amazing

 

[cartman101]

well looks like one lion was sold today only one lion left! I'm not really sure about a grouper, dont they get extremely agressive? Wouldn't harm the sharK?

Only about 3 more hours untill i go to the lfs!! (i was up 6am this morning exicted for getting my new fish) This is what i decided to do, if they have the lion i will get that if they dont i will get the grouper. Now are groupers really mean? Are they the beat-the-fish-up kinda fish? Whats their personality? I never took the time to research up on them.

 

[cartman101]

oh man i'm soooo freakin tired, they better have the fish there

 

[surfer11]

groupers arent mean they just eat little things

 

[cartman101]

OMG! You gotta check out this site! They must of been on drugs while doing this site! Look what they say for tank sizes for the miniatus gropuer and the panther grouper*Illegal Link*

 

[scubadoo]

System size for miniatus grouper is correct.

 

[scubadoo]

Since they recommend a 150 for a miniatus.....the size on the panther recommended is probably a typo/mistake.
Against the rules to link to other sites. Shame on u

NO lionfish or groupers. I called every dam place in springfield and no one has them
