    Would a Flame Hawk be compatible with the others? Sometimes thought Flame Hawks lose their nice red and turn drab red

    get you foods in seperate dishes, also get some brine shrimp, what i do when i get a new fish is wait a day before trying to feed him. he is a bicolor blenny so he likes to hide and is still making sure he is safe in your tank. after a day turn pumps powerheads off and feed one food at a time. some he will ignore and some he will spit our and some he will eat, your best bet for a newfish like him is brine or mysis. after you find something he likes, mine took brine i kept feeding him it and them put a little mysis in it and he is almost tricked into eating something else and he might like it and keep eating it. good luck and remember wild caught fish are under a lot of stress. keep up water changes and try to stress him out as little as possible!

    I dont recommend a hawk IME because my algae blenny (hey, its still a blenny) would attack my falco hawk but im assuming because thye both usually hang on the bottom of the tak. I bet you really enjoy having that mandarin; I want one soon too lol
