Geometric Pygmy Hawkfish Owners

image.jpg
Was just about to make a post about mine. Mine has gotten huge. He ate my 2 year old peppermint shrimp (I think he was close to his lifespan and was eaten post-death), and my neon goby that was the same size as him. I was watching the tank one day and the goby attempted to clean him, the hawkfish closed his mouth on him and swam away. He also snatched my new sexy shrimp from its anemone... I’ve determined that once they get large, you can’t keep them with anything that is the same size as them, they will find a way to eat it. Other than eating stuff, he’s pretty peaceful with the larger fish. They’re great fish overall. Yours looks a bit skinny, but not bad at all. The belly should be more flat/slightly curved outward rather than a slight curve inward. Good luck!
