Can I get a star fish? Fiancée wants one.

What's wrong with a Flame Hawkfish? Before I purchased my Flametail Blenny he was in the same tank as a Flame Hawkfish and they were best buddies, always hanging out together and when I purchased the Blenny, the hawkfish seemed so sad that I didn't bring him home too! Very fun fish although I've never owned one. I think as long as you don't have a small shrimp goby like I do then it'll be fine, a watchman goby would be okay I'd assume since they get big and are cranky looking

 

I don't see why you couldn't get a full sized brittle star, though they are not out much. But about anything else will either starve or eat corals.

 

I vote for SEXY SHRIMP! She'll love them! Their tiny, cute and all over the place. Wagging their little bottoms around like it's nobodies business and they love to *skip* across open spaces amongst the rocks. I've got 2 in my 26g and what an awesome addition. I'm actually thinking of a couple more. I like them that much! They eat pretty much anything. I do spot feed them pellets, PE Mysis and frozen brine shrimp.

 

Yeah, but if it's not out then she can't enjoy it. Basically it will become a tease.

I have a Rainford Goby, wouldn't that be dinner for a Hawk fish?

 

Sexy Shrimp might be an option! They get along with cleaner shrimp too?

 

Hmm not sure. Cleaner shrimp might make a meal outta these lil guys..they don't get no bigger then 1 1/2"

 

So I asked her and she doesn't like Sexy Shrimp...


Would a hawk fish work? She is obsessed with these guys. Will it be okay?

 

Try and find out! You can always take him back - I think you'll be fine

 

Well I'd like to make sure, I don't want to put something in my tank just to find out it won't work. I'm assuming it's going to be a pain in the a** to remove.

My cleaner shrimp a pretty dang big, they are over a year old now. If I get a baby Hawk "1 inch" you guys think it will be okay? Oh and my goby, will he be okay?
