MrConclusion Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 If done cycling, you can add your fish. Be careful because hawkfish are jumpers, so make sure you have a tight-fitting lid. Link to comment
GoldStripeMaroon Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 I had a flame hawkfish in my 75 gallon, beautiful and cool fish. DO NOT KEEP shrimp, no matter kind or size, they will kill them. I would add all fish of similar size (any small gobies might entice its natural insticts) and snails and hermits BEFORE the flame hawk. Give him lots of rockwork, but I did that, he was a perfect community citizen, never bothered any small fish (percs) or larger, and never showed interest in inverts, and ate like a pig, and perches out in the open. But, I have heard that if you put them in first, they will associate new inverts or new small fish as feeding time, so there ya go, hope it helps, good luck! Link to comment
