I know there are hybrid groupers in the market which might be able to better withstand full freshwater environment, but as far as bumblebee groupers are concerned, these giants need to have an increase in salinity as they get bigger, up to the point of full marine salinity.
assuming that what the lfs is selling hybrids, will be safe to say that they can survive in full fresh water, as shown by this mentioned thread and all those youtube videos showing them very alive but no so big and in fresh water as claimed in the description
or we will really need to adjust them back to salt water and use same , hygrometer to measure salinity like marine fishes if we were to want to keep them alive for long time in the aquarium but not hope to grow them too big?
thnks for advice.
