    Just snapped a quick picture of my Flame Hawkfish. These fish have a very unique personality, very different from any other saltwater fish. If your willing to sacrifice some shrimp and crabs, then a Hawk is a very beautiful and interesting fish for any aquarium.

    I had an arceye hawkfish up until Christmas when I think my frog fish got him.

    Probably the meanest fish I've ever had. It would take on a 9 inch Tang and bully fish 3X it's size. I wanted it out of my tank but it always out smarted me.

    they are great fish with amazing personalities just stay away from the arceye

    Those look pretty cool too (Usually the nice fish are the worst)! I am only recommending flame hawk since I dont have much experience with any other. But if you like your shrimp, then I would avoid them! (mine ate my fire shrimp, and a couple peppermints. Its does not mess with the CBS though ;D)

    Also they are pretty hardy! Two tangs, and multiple chromis have died in my tank, but this one is a soldier :eek:)
