We Hardily knew ye Fat Falco!!

[Roatan Reef]

So, like many others who have had, kept and still keep Hawk Fish.....

We loved our Falco Hawk. Of course after 1 time of not feeding in the PM, he made a quick snack of our Cleaner Shrimp. Which I didn't mind, one of the risks.

Lately ol boy has been cleaning out Turbo Snails, harassing Emerald Crabs, and as of Friday literally started dive bombing our new 1.5" Bristletooth Tang.

I wanted to keep him forever, but after I saw what he was trying to do to our Bristletooth Tang, I had enough.

Took him to our LFS to get rehomed. Bought a Coral Banded Shrimp. Tank is lovely now.

We had him for 8 months...and aside of obvious eating Shrimp, he was good, but past few months he started targeting Turbo Snsils and picking them clean...and even went after Emerald Crabs.

Bristletooth tang was $75, Fat Falco was $40.

I'm sad to see him go, but other than look cool, eat Shrimp and Snails and be a giant ******...he had no benefits for us.

And dude was fat with an Almost distended belly!

I just wish fish didn't get an attitude sometimes. But if they didn't then fish would post a lot of the personality that makes em so lovable.
