Potters angel and flame hawk?

[Cflip]

I was all set to order one now I see on one site you can't have the two of them together in a 60 gallon tank. True or false?

I'm not sure why you couldn't (though the Potter's may nip corals, and the flame will snack on shrimp . . . ), but I've never kept hawkfish.

@eatbreakfast would know them better than I do.

I see no reason those fish couldn't be kept together in a 60 gallon.

I don't know. Saltwaterfish.com says no.

I stand by my original statement.
I have kept at various times over the years:
Potter's/Flame Hawk
Flame Angel/Flame Hawk
Shepardi/Flame Hawk
Rusty/Flame Hawk.
Flame Hawk/Flame Hawk
Never had an issue.
That said, maybe the website knows something I don't. Doubt it, but very possible.
As a buyer for the largest store in my area back in the day, and later an exporter from the source in the South Pacific, I do have a bit of knowledge, but I have been wrong before.

They'll be fine together. Disregard what saltwaterfish.com says.

Agree 100%. I've kept them together many times without issue.
