Miniata grouper

[FlameFan]

Really want a miniata for my 160g and im wondering if they eat all ornamental shrimp? I have had a lot of fish that eat ornamentals but leave the cleaners alone, their programmed to know they have a beneficial function. Same with cleaner wrasse. Will the grouper eat them both?

I would worry as much about your fish as about inverts.

The Fish in my tank are to big for a miniata to eat. Im worried about my cleaners.

Mine loved to eat live shrimp, so there is a good chance it would eat them.

Also, they can eat much bigger fish than you would expect, and if your fish are really too big for it to eat then you're already overstocked in a 160 gallon aquarium.

Nope, not overstocked, it only has 2 Fish now, a Purple tang and a regal angel.

A grouper is going to try to eat anything smaller than it.
And I think regal angels need larger tanks.
