Fish ID Please

[John White]

My apologies I've posted this to the wrong forum.
I know very little about tropical fish and would like someone to identify two fish I photographed.

This first fish, I believe is a saltwater fish and measured about 2 inches in total length.

The second fish, I believe is also a saltwater fish and measured about 3 inches in total length.

Thanks!

John

Where did you photograph them? They look pretty exotic, like from a public aquarium.

Those are GOOOD photos. How do you do that??

Oh....dont know what they are, sorry

Thanks for the kind words. The photos were taken in a public aquarium and unfortunately, the aquarium was missing many signs identifying the animals within the tanks.

The fish in the second pic was identified as a Three-striped Damselfish (Dascyllus aruanus).

The other one is a pork fish. If you ever dive with this fish, you can hear them "grunting" like a pig - porkfish.

Thanks for the ID!

Found a sound file for the porkfish here: http/www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSum...ame=virginicus#
