Yellow Watchman and Flame Hawkfish

[FishDaddy1992]

Does anyone have experience with keeping flame hawkfish and yellow watchman together?

Yup; work's a treat in a 4 foot 135 gallon tank. Think about the rest of your livestock as well thought, not just about these two!

Here's a good reference compatibility chart:

I have a Yasha goby and a longnose hawk. Bit different to op question but the goby stays on the sand and the hawk stays on the rockwork so they don't interact. It makes it possible for them to coexist.

Well, my watchman died and I believe it to be from the flame hawkfish. I have a ban card and a clown in there along with some emeralds, hermits, conch, and a pistol shrimp. I think the hawkfish was being very territorial.

Flame is the devils child and will antagonize tank mates, eat your shrimp and steal the food.

I have come to find that out. I use to think they were cool but no one talks about how much of a bully they are. Big mistake in purchasing it.
