The Porkfish (Anisotremus virginicus), a striking member of the grunt family (Haemulidae), is a popular choice for marine aquariums due to its vibrant yellow markings on the head and fins, paired with a white body and slender black stripes. Known for their peaceful nature, Porkfish are generally compatible with other species, making them an excellent addition to community tanks.
In their juvenile stage, these grunts are often seen performing the role of cleaner fish on coral reefs, picking parasites off other fish. As they mature, they form schools that swim around reefs, adding dynamic movement and color to their surroundings. Porkfish can grow to a length of about 10–12 inches, though some individuals have been known to reach up to 16 inches.
To thrive, these fish require larger tanks with ample space for swimming and plenty of rocks or structures where they can find shelter. A well-planted or rocky environment mimicking their natural reef habitat will help them feel secure and support their overall well-being.
Small size is 2-3" and Medium size is 3-5"
