The living habits of dragon pump:

The giant grouper is a bottom-feeding carnivorous fish that likes to live in the sea area within the reef, which can reach a depth of about 60 meters. It feeds on bottom-dwelling crustaceans and small fish and shrimps. Although it does not swim fast, due to its special body structure, it often preys by surprise, catching its prey off guard. Artificial breeding can use fresh fish and shrimps, cut into slices and fed, and sometimes add marine fish powdered compound feed.

The grouper fish mostly lives in tropical and subtropical coral reef areas. In addition to the Xisha and Nansha Islands in my country and the southern part of Hainan Island, it is also distributed in the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, the east coast of Africa to the central Pacific Ocean, south to Australia, and north to southern Japan. The grouper fish rarely shows up in the sea, and experienced fishermen often catch it with longline fishing, hand fishing or bottom trawling.

Especially the giant grouper weighing more than 150 kilograms, which is said to have forty or fifty years of experience living at sea, is even more difficult to catch, and once caught it becomes a rare species.
