   |  Hawkfish banished to a QT Tank
We had to pull out our Spotted Hawk because he first killed our favorite Cleaner Shrimp and started to pester our Coral Beauty Angel.
He is in another tank all by himself for the time being.
Any idea of what we could put in with him as we dont want him to be alone in the tank and we dont want to get rid of him. He really is a great fish... _________ 72 gallon bowed 150lbs LR 60 lbs LS
2 Percs
1 Chevron Tang
Hippo Tang
Six Line Wrasse
Coral Banded Shrimp
Cleaner Shrimp
Starry Blenny
4 Lyretail Anthias
Long Polyp Toadstool
Montipora
Long Tentacle Anenome
Short tentacle plate
Pulsing Xenia
Green Star polyps
Frogspawn
29 gallon
2 Clown
1 Coral Beauty
1 Fairy Wrasse
24 FOWLR
Dwarf Lion
125 gallon African Cichlid Tank http://home.comcast.net/~pizzal/index.html

I like hawkfish but I like my shrimp better  If the fish is that aggressive, I wouldn't try to put anything in the tank with it and it will be just fine by itself. | |

Hi again, Amcarrig...That is what we are thinking we just set him up in a tank by himself. It is a great fish with a lot of personality and we did not want to get rid of it... | |

I set up a nano just to house two perc clowns that could not compete/survive in my main tank and I also did not want to get rid of them. Was a fun exercise and now I enjoy it just as much.
I enjoy the attention it needs, as the main tank requires so little. (helps fulfill my reef-keeping "urges" - and keeps at bay, the continuous desire of moving up to a larger tank.  ) My Nano _________ AG "125," AquaC EV 180, 30 gal sump, "SCWD", 80 lbs LR, CoralSeaLife "Moonlite" Hood, PFO 250W HQI Mini-Pendant (SPS HQI 14000k bulb)

We definitely do not want to get rid of the Hawk, he is awesome...Added the rock and sand yesterday...A bit of coral is next..Tell me about the urge, we were out yesterday and on impulse almost bought a 265, LOL...We have been thinking about a 200 and now a 265...what next, 1000? LOL | |

If you got it from a LFS ? see if they will trade you for a long nose hawk its pretty shrimp safe (: and it acts just as all Hawks do. Set's and looks ( either swimming like crazy or falling like a rock (: _________ Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible (Doug Larson) | |
