i have a 75 gallon fish only tank, it currently only has a 5 inche panther grouper, a damsel fish, and some cleaner craps
which one of these fish would best suit my aquarium and my exprince level, im would say im a intermediate, ive been keeping fish for 7 years and saltwater for about 3
-4 inche barracuda (i really want this one but if its difficult to maintain then ill stay away)
-5 inche blue lined grouper
-5 inche grouper (i dont know the name but it is solid black with white lines and dots)
-6 inche leaflip grouper
all of these are $49.99

you can not have groupers in a 75 gallon ecspeccialy panther groupers they'll need a 300
gallon tank or more but no groupers for a 75 gallon but panther groupers get very ugly
when there 3 ft. long and they'll turn gray with large black spots

wow, you picked the wrong fish or the wrong tank. The panther you have will get very very BIG! A barracuda needs the ocean to swim in. I would say dont buy anymore fish and start looking at bigger tanks :thinking:

you can buy a 100000 gallon tank and keep a barracuda like they do at the monterey bay
aquarium but it will take about 45 years of excperience to keep one there hard to cause there so agressive they'll rip to shreds anything else in the tank most likely

i wouldn't put you as an eddermittiate fish keeper cause i only been in the hobby for little over a year and still know you can't keep that many fish a 75 galllon fish tank
so i'll put you as a begginer not to be rude but im just sayin but if you want all those fish you'll need a 400 gallon not counting the barracuda with barracuda 1000000 gallon tank cause they'll grow about 5-7 feet and are agressive animals

i would def do a lot more research on the list of stock your wanting to keep such as tank requirements ect.as for the barracuda if this is a fish you want to keep plan on having no other fish with it ever!! and a much larger tank this is one of those species that does not belong on the hobbiest list for sale.
