Interesting eel and grouper behavior

[HAAAAAAAA]

Whenever my eel seems to be really hungry he goes to my grouper with a open mouth and my grouper does a pressed face and tail whips him (like literally, tail whips my eel) is this normal? Lol

Or should I be worried about early signs of aggression which I hope doesn't get worse in the future as they grow

Keep em fed or one will end up in the others mouth

The eel is too big for the grouper to eat and the grouper is too big for the eel to eat, so, i don't know what's going on between them

Eels can chew and groupers are known to die from swollowing things to big to digest.

Agree with keeping them fed, also eels and groupers have an interesting relationship in the ocean as well

I would love to see their relationship form in my aquarium, if that is possible ofcourse

Make sure you have a tank over 100 gal. because they will grow. I use to have a panther grouper and a moray eel, and they where the best of friends, I am thinking about starting up a fish only tank with that combo, and some fast Yellowtail Blue Damsels, for they will never catch em.

The grouper i have is a greasy grouper,
My tank is 150 gallon's,sure, you can keep yellow tail damsel's with them but, they will be stressed out with the constant chasing from the grouper and will in turn make them highly vulnerable for disease, if you still want to house them together make sure you give them many hiding spots

I had yellow tail damsels in my tank for years with them, and never did the yellow tails get stresses out, if any stress it was on the Panther for not catching them, be leave me the yellow tails will never get stressed, and absolutely never any disease, just stronger, for they are a little tough fish, i had a nice school.
