Although this species is generally passive it will still eat any fish or crustacean it can fit in its mouth. Considering that they can grow quite large, this could pose a later problem. |

The Speckled Grouper's scientific name is Epinephelus cyanopodus. Typically reaching a max size of about 39.0 inches in length, the Speckled Grouper is generally passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the upper tank area. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Epinephelus cyanopodus should not be housed in a tank less than 250 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra swimming area.
