I've got a Pixie Hawkfish coming out of QT next weekend. Is it possible to keep this fish with a YWG/pistol shrimp or Yasha Goby/Red Banded Pistol shrimp? I know Hawkfish target shrimp but I figured as long as they're paired they should be okay?
 
Tank size is important info, but I've never kept a hawkfish cause I always read they will go for the watchman if its small enough. But like I said I only read it, maybe someone has experience.
 
If the tank is big enough, they might probably be okay. but its still a risk, especially with a pixe since they are a lot more aggressive compared to other hawks IME.

Are there any fish I should flat out avoid with the Pixie in my tank? It's a 75g

Any peaceful fish that are a lot smaller than it it like goby’s, small blennys, other hawks, and any inverts.
