Can I get a star fish? Fiancée wants one.

im pretty sure hawk would eat the sexy shrimp lol or any small shrimp

 

You (and she) have to decide what's worth the risk.

 

Haha agreed, but I don't have sexy shrimp. The lady said no to that idea.

 

If it was up to her everything could be eaten just as long as the Flame Hawk is okay.

 

also the problem with a normal brittle is with that sixe tank if u dont spot feed ,it might decide to go for inverts or fish

 

Anyone have other ideas on inverts?

 

I would say no to the Hawkfish(sorry). These can be extremely aggresive in a small tank and your Goby would not fair well. There is also a strong possiblity that your shrimp could be attacked.You might be able to do A Highfin Perchlet. These are a little more subdued compared to a flame hawk but they stay small and are basically Pygmy Hawkfish. I've had several in the past and they have always done well. They will usually only eat Mysis or Brine though.Cool little fish that change intensity of the red coloration with green eyes.

While they are small in stature they can usually hold there own and because they are red most fish will leave them alone.The only issue I can see is the Sixline as they can be real jerks to new tankmates.

Here's Sparky!!LOL

 

I'm with ya Vinny!!! I LOVE my cleaner shrimp. The Hawk is out of the question.

 

Doesn't like sexy shrimp?! What a party pooper. haha

What about getting two scarlet cleaner shrimp? they are colorful, and quite active, picking around on the rocks. They are out a lot.

 

I already have two of those guys. They are super friendly and fun to watch. Every time I put my hand in the tank they swim up and play.
