I'm looking to add a new round of fish to my reef tank. I've got my QT set up and everything. However, I'm still in the process of deciding what fish I want to add. I want to add a flame hawkfish, but there's a problem. I have an established breeding pair of skunk cleaner shrimp which I'd really rather not get eaten.
Reading through the forums, I'm finding that some people have them together with no problem, and others find that the shrimp inevitably gets eaten. I'm wondering if my shrimp being fully grown and in the tank before the hawkfish would make a difference. The site I'd be ordering from says that their hawkfish are between 1.5" - 2.5", so while the fish wouldn't be a full sized adult, it wouldn't be a baby either.
So what does everyone think?
