New Flame Hawk - Coolest fish!

[Mini Coop]

Get the biggest ones you can find and they might be alright for awhile. But as the hawk grows in size he will eventually eat them. It's just what hawkfish do.

No shrimp . . . got it. Snails and hermit crabs it is!

I'm looking at anthias as well. I would like 3+. I have a wonderful, fat, healthy not-for-use-with-coral flame angel. LOL I also would like an ocellaris clown as well.

I have 2 - and we love them! Got them from a private breeder - they are growing SO FAST! (Marlin and Nemo of course . . . . )

Congrats! Hawkfish are smart and loaded with personality! The coloration of a flame hawk is gorgeous.

Oh my lord!!! Hahha!! That's crazy!!
Now I want to know what kind of hawkfish that was. He was beautiful. Lol.

My poor peppermints...lol

Looked like a Falco hawkfish

Sorry if this was said already but can you have move than one as long as they're not the same genus?
Or does that not even matter and multiples of the same Fish.
Just asking if anyone knows I don't feel like searching right now and someone knows I'm sure.
It would be cool to have a flame a falco and a long nose in the same tank

Yes, they are compatible with caution. There are many success stories about housing hawkfish of different species.

 

[haanstang]

I'm sure tank size and Territory has a lot to do with the success. Thanks I'll do some research

 

[AllSignsPointToFish]

No problem. I already have a longnose hawk, and I plan to add a flame hawk when I can get hold of one

That video was hard ! I "think"the cleaner shrimps get a free pass .

My cleaners didn't And, it WAS a flame hawkfish that got them..

Mine got a large blood shrimp that I thought was too big to be bothered by a flame hawk. It's very cool fish though!

I was wondering the same thing!!

I have a 120 - think I could do all 3? Any fish they are NOT compatible with? Currently have a sailfin, foxface, 2 clowns. Adding 2 wrasses. Trying to plan my stock.
@AllSignsPointToFish - you seem to know.

 

[Humblefish]

Yeah, it was a Falco in that video: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+34+2626&pcatid=2626

I'm not sure I understand your question.

 

[Mini Coop]

I'm not sure I understand your question.

Asking if i can put the flame, long nose and falco in my tank together. And if there are any fish that I would NOT be able to have in the tank because of having the three hawks.

 

[AllSignsPointToFish]

Gotcha. As far as I know, you could probably put all three in a 120 gallon tank. It's probably easier to host three different species than three of the same species. Here is a compatibility chart :

Looks like you only need to worry about eels and groupers (if I read the chart correctly on my cell phone), but you weren't planning on those anyway.

Thank you!! Great resource! Printing it now. I appreciate it much! Hope you don't mind, but I will pass along to someone asking about fish to go with clowns if you haven't seen that post already
