Hawk Fish

[bowhunter1227]

I bought a longnose hawk fish a few weeks ago and absolutely love its character. My question is how many hawk fish can safely be added to a 125g mixed reef? I would like to add another longnose, 2 flames, and 2 coral.

If added as juveniles, you can keep at least a pair of longnose hawks. Not sure about mixing different species of hawks in a 125...seems risky.

Hawkfish can get territorial, so you have a small window of time to add more. I have had a longnose pr, flame pr, and forsteri together.

So maybe I'll just keep one of each.
