About me
I'm called Bob, the Giant Grouper. You might have noticed that I'm really round and big. Well they don't call me gigantic without reason! In the past, I was really lonely because no one would play with me. I wandered listlessly alone around the coast until I found Aquaria. I'm very happy to call Aquaria my home now because I have so many friends.
