Common name: Groupers

The Serranidae family, commonly known as groupers and sea basses, encompasses a diverse group of fish often prized in the reefkeeping hobby for their robust size and striking patterns. These fish are generally hardy and can adapt to life in captivity, but due to their potential size, they require larger aquariums. Many species within this family are also known for their interesting behaviors, including their ability to change sex from female to male as they mature. They are carnivorous, requiring a diet rich in meaty foods, and can be territorial, so careful consideration of tank mates is essential.
