Flame Hawk Compatibility

[vetteguy53081]

I currently have a flame hawkfish in my 45 gallon tank. He is doing just great and gets along swimmingly with my mocha clowns.

I'm looking at other possible fish to add and I'm not sure if I should go with more semi-aggressive fish or if I could get some additional peaceful tank mates. My flame hawk is about 2.5 inches long so he isn't full grown and he has never laid a fin on my inverts. I still have all snails, my tiger conch, and cleaner shrimp. He definitely seems chill and not too territorial, but I worry that will change with a new addition.

If you have any experience keeping a flame hawk, let me know how it might get along with the following options:

- Midas Blenny
- Tail Spot Blenny
- Purple Firefish
- Coral Beauty
- Orchid Dottyback
- Blue Reef Chromis

Thank you all so much for your time!

Best Regards

This fish is gorgeous but will go after anthias, chromis, some gobies and blennies and for sure eat any and all ornamental shrimp

Would a little pixie hawkfish be better? Says they only get to 3”

Hawkfish versus a shrimp a sure bet but should co-habitate well with other fish
