Hello all! Ive added a Falco Hawkfish to my 200 gallon peninsula tank, but he seems to enjoy chasing or fin-nipping at my anthias.
I don’t have any aggressive fish, just a few chromis, 1 Randall’s anthias, clownfish pair, royal gamma, and a lawnmower blenny.
The anthias swims freely but swims into the rocks when it goes over a rock area where the Hawkfish loves to perch at.
(The obvious solution would be to take out the Hawkfish, but it’s just got that personality everyone enjoys watching!)
Would getting an aggressive fish help mitigate his sour hate for my anthias or would I have to get more schooling fish to help the anthias feel safer in numbers?
I’ve tried changing rockwork and inducing more feedings, but he just doesn’t like the anthias for some odd reason since the other fish just swim on by.
