I have a dwarf flame angel that I’ve owned for a few months. He was doing fine swimming all around. But today I traded in an aggressive flame hawkfish, and picked up 3 zebra barred dartfish. I did rearrange the rocks slightly to get at the hawkfish. Made a nice cave. Now my flame angel is hiding in the cave. He comes out to eat but no longer swims throughout the tank like he used to. It’s only been a day but I’m worried about him. An expensive fish to lose. I think he did swim with the hawkfish. Sometimes next to one another. I acquired both at the same time. they were the first 2 fish in my tank. Is he missing his buddy? I feel bad. I didn’t think they were inseparable. Or maybe he just likes the small cave?
