Better to standby a bag of marine salt and a hydrometer to monitor the desired salinity for them to thrive, as they are ultimately saltwater fish.

I wouldn't suggest getting a grouper if the intention of keeping the fish is to hope that they don't grow so big. Also, I would expect the hybrid groupers to have a faster growth rate as compared to the bumblebee grouper.
so you advise that it should be kept at marine salinity of 1.023-1.04? or? if I decide to try again
