hxcaquaman Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 good choice, my girlfriend has a 150w on her 10 gallon and it evaporates water like no tomorrow. must be nice to be able to keep a reef tank at a young age, when I was your age I wasn't allowed to keep fish. but now I'm out on my own, paying my bills and such and my apartment looks like a Fish store, with 5 tanks running, and I have 3 more in storage haha.

Scott Riemer Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 here is some pics You realize that fish should be in a 30+ gallon tank? It might kill your shrimp too. Link to comment
Monkeyrobb Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Read this and then take that fish back. And don't feel bad. My friend had a spiny puffer, clown trigger, and a yellow tang in a 24 gallon. Only two had to die before she realized her mistake. http://liveaquaria.com/product/prod_displa...amp;pcatid=2626 Link to comment
hxcaquaman Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 no problem, I'd have to agree with your mom on that one bud. definitely don't want to burn down the house. and I have to agree with Scott on keeping the hawk in a 12 gallon, granted I have a frogfish in my 10 gallon, until he gets bigger, I have a 30 gallon ready and waiting for him.

Nanobuds Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 That's racist! how is that racist!!?? if it is i didnt mean it to be ... i hate racist... You realize that fish should be in a 30+ gallon tank? It might kill your shrimp too. i agree. wait for it to get bigger before you return it. and if it starts picking at the shrimp, then take it back. but oh well, we all make mistakes. Link to comment
marinebiologist Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 yeah i could probably change one of kmy FW tanks into a saltwater once he gets bigger or too aggressive. but he is pretty good right know he even let the shrimp clean him. also the editor of tfh magazine recommended that i get a hawkfish Link to comment
Scott Riemer Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 how is that racist!!?? if it is i didnt mean it to be ... i hate racist... It's Cancun. Here is the definition of coon Link to comment

hxcaquaman Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 all in good fun I know I've come to the conclusion that unless you are steve T or Weetabix or in the contest your tank doesn't get attention on this site Blerg Link to comment
Scott Riemer Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 So, you don't care that the fish is not appropriate for your tank? Link to comment
marinebiologist Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 no i do ill do something about it if he causes problems or if he doesnt like being in a small setup. but for right now he looks happy and isnt causing any problems. Link to comment
marinebiologist Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 i dont think the hawkfish is going to kill the shrimp anyways because i just saw him let the shrimp clean his sides and the inside of his mouth. Link to comment
Scott Riemer Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 i dont think the hawkfish is going to kill the shrimp anyways because i just saw him let the shrimp clean his sides and the inside of his mouth. The shrimp is probably too big. But the tank is too small for the fish. Link to comment
Jeffry83 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Before you buy a fish or coral always check if it's suitable for your tank,do like i did,make a small list of what you want. Link to comment
