Found throughout tropical reefs worldwide, Groupers are members of the family Serranidae and are related to Anthias and Sea Basses. Known for their massive jaws and deliberate movements, they are surprisingly gentle and intelligent for their size. With proper space and diet, Groupers can live for many years and even recognize their keepers.

At AquariumFish.com, we offer a carefully curated selection of Groupers for sale — from smaller, colorful species suited for large home aquariums to show-stopping giants that thrive in custom or public displays. All fish are responsibly sourced and shipped overnight for health and safety.
