Description: A peaceful version of a grouper. Marine Bettas are very peaceful and do well in all aquariums. They are a very shy fish, and may not come out of hiding for the first couple of days in their new aquarium home. Caution should be taken in reef aquaria as they may eat shrimp or small fish, but they will not bother coral. They are a good fish to mix with most community marine fish as they have such a unique body shape.
