The Zebra Leather Grouper (Dermatolepis dermatolepis), a striking addition to any enthusiast's marine aquarium. Characterized by its distinctive zebra-like stripes and graceful movement, this species captivates with its beauty and demeanor. Growing to an impressive size of up to 24 inches in length, the Zebra Leather Grouper requires a large tank and a experienced keeper. Care for this stunning fish involves providing a spacious environment with plenty of hiding spots and adequate water quality maintenance. A well-aerated tank with temperatures ranging between 72°F to 78°F and a pH level of 8.1 to 8.4 mimics its natural habitat, ensuring optimal health.

Feeding the Zebra Leather Grouper is relatively straightforward, as it is primarily carnivorous. Offer a varied diet consisting of high-quality marine proteins such as shrimp, squid, and small fish.

Additionally, maintaining a consistent feeding schedule will help prevent aggression towards tank mates and promote a harmonious aquarium community.
