The posterior part of the body features six white vertical bands. A 250-gallon or bigger aquarium is needed in order to accommodate the dimensions and the feeding habits of the fish. It's very violent and could consume its tank mates and crustaceans. The Blue Dot grouper favors eating a diet rich in meat, like shrimp, krill, and other small fish.

Blue Dot Grouper Info The Blue Spot Grouper Cephalopholis argus, also called the peacock hind, argus hind, and bluespottted grouper is beautiful and tough. This aggressive fish is found in the Indo-Pacific and Hawaii. A sea bass that is properly a part of the family of Serranidae Blue dot grouper is primarily fed by other species of fish in the wild, but it also eats crustaceans. Expect similar behavior for your tank. If you have a large fish-only aquarium with similarly large fish the blue dot is one of the most beautiful members of the genus and must be considered with care. The blue dot grouper is a fan of low-light areas with a couple of strong caves (these fish are known to dig). A single blue dot grouper can be kept in an aquarium. A diet that is rich in chunks from marine meat (such as table shrimp in raw form) or a frozen meal designed for marine carnivores must be served. Although this blue spot grouper might seem shy upon introduction in a short time it will be an amiable, disease-resistant beautiful fish for a large fish-only aquarium.

Helpful Questions From Clients
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hiring a professional necessary to set up a saltwater aquarium?

As a general rule, a larger custom aquarium might require installation by a professional. However, a kit from our online fish store is relatively affordable and beginner friendly. That means you should have no problem setting it up yourself.

Which saltwater aquarium fish should you choose when starting out?

Consider a yellow tang fish. This popular saltwater aquarium fish does a great job of coexisting with other types of fish you’ll find in our online fish store.

How does a saltwater aquarium differ from a freshwater one?

Saltwater aquariums require a bit more maintenance and monitoring than freshwater tanks. Different fish require different levels of salinity, pH tolerances, and temperature requirements. They also require specialized pumps, filters, and other equipment that can handle salt. We can guide you through everything you need to know to set up a healthy, thriving reef tank.

Do fish in a saltwater aquarium swim in a school?

That depends on the species. However, if it’s a fish that swims in a school in the wild, they’ll do the same in an aquarium. Some fish that swim in schools include the green and blue chromis, cardinalfish, and dartfish, for example. When ordering from an online fish store, make sure you do your research on how specific fish species behave to ensure they’ll school (or at least coexist) with your current fish.

Is the effort required to maintain a saltwater aquarium worth it?

Yes! Many aquarists dream of owning thriving saltwater aquariums. You have a tiny piece of the ocean in your home, featuring magical and exotic fish that can only survive in saltwater.
