Do other hawks besides the longnose accept dry foods?

Just wondering, Im having a hard time dealing with this fish and was wondering are the other hawks the same, relying on frozen or live. So do other hawks eg flame hawk, falco hawk need live/frozen or can eat flakes?

I've never heard of anyone feeding their hawk(s) dry food. But I know they love Mysis.

Would regular shrimp work?

My flame hawkfish accepts any food available.

Yes, and my flame hawk eats pellets and formula 2 flake and frozen cubes of anything. He's a greedy freak.

Same with my flame hawk (before he decided to go carpet surfing). He'd eat anything and everything I'd put in the tank.

Hmm than it only seems that longnose ones are picky

my flame hawk would swim up to the waters surface whenever anyone would walk by the tank waiting to eat anything you put in there

Is the longnose hawk one of the hardest to feed or something?
