some questions about porkfish

[ejrabekoff]

I have some questions that I was hoping to get answers for about porkfish. 1st, what is the minimum size tank that they should be housed in? I saw on blue zoo aquatics that it said 50g, but that seems a little small for a fish that can grow to be 16". How easy are they to keep? What potential tankmates can I have with them? Thank you.

I would say your 150g is bare min., especially when they start to get big, I have one seem pretty easy to keep, eats everything from flake,shrimp, krill ,squid ect., they are a very active fish swimming all over, mine is in a 500g, I have him in with tangs, angelfish, grouper, mutiple triggers, thay will help clean larger fish when small, mine does this all the time. I love this fish I think they are a cool fish to watch.

Thank you for the response. When you say angels, does that mean large 1s? Will they get along with genicanthus angels? How does this look for a stocking list

Genicanthus angel
Porkfish
Humu humu trigger
7 chromises
Rabbitfish.

Is this too many fish? Can I add any more? Maybe a tang? What species? How about an eel, or a harlequin tuskfish, or maybe a tomato clown? My tank is a 4'x3'x3'. Will this be a problem?

Yes I mean larger angels, Pork fish are generally a non- aggressive, so compatability wouldn't be a problem, list seems fine, you might be about to put a smaller type of tang, but nothing else.
