Genus

Common name: Grunts

Scientific name: Haemulon

Haemulon is a genus of fish commonly known as grunts or sweetlips, found in the warmer waters of the Atlantic Ocean. These fish are known for the grunting noise they produce by grinding their teeth together, which is amplified by their air bladders. They are a popular choice for fish-only aquariums due to their hardiness and relatively peaceful nature. Grunts are typically bottom dwellers and feed on a diet of small invertebrates. They exhibit a range of colors and patterns, making them visually appealing to hobbyists.
