The Porkfish is a large predatory grunt, sweetlips from the western Atlantic. They are very hardy and a great fish for beginners to mix with other large and aggressive fish. Make sure to provide plenty of rockwork and space alike. They are bright yellow with two vertical black stripes by the eye and around the operculum. Provide a variety of large meaty foods.
