Can Hawkfish species be mixed in a 6’ tank? I’m thinking Flame + Longnose or Flame + Falco. They’ll be introduced at around the same time.

It’s been confirmed there won’t be a shrimp or a goby in this tank, because I really want not only a Flame Hawkfish, but I’m also getting a Marine Betta and a Blue Throat Trigger.
What would be a good time to add the Flame Hawk? I’m thinking of introducing it before my Foxface or with it.
What he said. Hawkfish will Kill shrimps in the tank.I assume you do not want any decorator shrimp? My hawk fish ate two in the first day I got him. I thought they were to big for him to eat.
G’day from Australia! I have a flame hawk with a six line and yellow tang with no problems at all it is by far my favourite fish due to his personality and just does not accept bullies or getting pushed around. He just scoots around perching non stop, eats pellets.Today I was looking at Hawkfish and I found them to be pretty cool. If I could get a Flame, a Coral, or Falco, heard I’ll be getting a little fish with a great personality.
From what I have read they are pretty interesting and hardy too, and that they can live for over ten years. I have read that they do pose a threat to small invertebrates so it’s pretty much a choice between a Hawkfish or a Yellow Watchman Goby for me (because both are bottom dwellers and I do plan to pair the Goby with a Pistol Shrimp if I get the YWG).
Do they have any special dietary requirements (are they picky eaters)? What do I feed them for optimal health? Are they very aggressive and do they jump a lot?
Which species would you recommend?
Their tank mates will be:
A pair of Ocellaris or Black and White Ocellaris clownfish
A Royal Gramma
Two to three Azure or Talbot’s Damselfish
A dwarf angel (species undecided)
A choice between the Hawkfish or the Yellow Watchman Goby
Define "well fed". Do you feed more than once per day? What do you feed them? Just pellets, or frozen, or a mixture?I have all those 3 fish in my 200 gallon and none have bothered my CUC, shrimps, goby or fox face.
Just keep them well fed
