Yes, I had heard before that eels had a rather bad affinity for chomping up other tank denizens, I didn't expect them to be social flowers either. I just thought the novelity of having a eel would have been very neat, they are one of my favorite sea creatures and animals but I agree probably not the best decision or purchase in hindsight. Your description of the grouper sounds very interesting to me, I had not realized people kept those in aquariums! I really love any kind of fish or creature that's traditionally viewed as "ugly" or has monstrous qualities, not necessarily because I want a baby Godzilla in my tank I just think they're fascinating to watch. Do you have any recommendations for a tank or conditions to keep a grouper? How difficult was he to take care of, excluding your issue with him pretty much outgrowing his tank.
