Hey folks,
Looking to pick your brains if you don't mind.
I went into my LFS on Wednesday and picked up a flame hawkfish (which the guy recommended after I told him who the hawkfish would be sharing the tank with (2 clowns, 2 bangais, a chromis, a firefish, a yellow watchman and various inverts).
Well since Wednesday the yellow watchman and firefish have hardly left the confines of their rock. Any time I've seen either the hawkfish chases them down until they go back into the rock (I've been directionally feeding into the rocks holes to ensure they get food).
Yesterday and this morning I noticed the Watchman struggling in the water and his fins seem torn up. I've watched the hawkfish go for him a couple of times and I genuinely have no idea what to do. I don't have a second tank in order to separate them. I'm really disappointed with my LFS for recommending this fish after specifically asking them to recommend something peaceful.
Would you guys have any idea what I could do?
Thanks for your thoughts in advance.
