One of the smaller specimens in the grouper family, but still has many of its larger relatives habits. One of which is the fact that, if it fits in its mouth, it is considered food. |

The Specklefin Grouper (Epinephelus ongus) is sometimes called a Whitespotted Grouper. It belongs to the family named Grammistidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 12.0 inches in length, the Specklefin 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 across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Epinephelus ongus should not be housed in a tank less than 75 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.
