    Panthers get HUGE !!! They are one of the biggest groupers and probably shouldn't be in the hobby. Yu could raise one in a 220 for awhile but it will out grow it and you'll have a hard time finding a home for it. They are like carp and catfish, eat almost anything and grow liek crazy. If you want a really good looking grouper check out the coral grouper aka miniata grouper.

    Grouper

    Just as stated above Pather Groupers can get huge. I would say the longer the tank the better prolly minimum would be like a 120 long or 135 or so. Even then they grow damn quick, they are hardy and will eat anything they can fit in its mouth. Even then it will still try to eat what it can't fit in. They dig the sand like many cichlids and are a very bold fish.

    I would maybe consider crushed coral for a substrate sand might not be a good idea.
