How safe is your flame hawk fish? - Page 2

Mine ate a small skunk cleaner and a fire shrimp. Got a big skunk cleaner now and it tries to attack it, but it's as big as him and just latches on and starts cleaning til the hawk swims off in a huff. Hasn't taken any snails or hermits that I've witnessed.

Ha ha ha, thats funny, thought the hawk sounds small. Hmmm, wonder what he is going to do in the future???

How long have you had your hawk dweezle?

you guys are forgetting to point out the fish they dont like. If another fish even looks at them in the wrong way, it's on like donkey kong. My friend has a 50 gallon with wrasses and and clowns and I warned him not to get a hawk but he too couldn't resist the red color and found out the hard way with many tattered fins in the tank and a few dead ones. I think he traded out in less than a week.

Yea, I have been reading a lot about them and psudo/dottybacks not getting along.
