small update......I rolled the dice a little this last w/e.....Ive always wanted a flame hawkfish and Ive always not bought one because Ive always had shrimp in the tank.....In V1 my mystery wrasse ended up taking out all the shrimp in the tank and I ended up gettin a geometric hawk......still a very cool fish and I really loved its behavior, but not a flame hawk......V2 has three or four peppermint shrimp, one cleaner shrimp and one fire shrimp and now a wee tiny flame hawk.......everything Ive read suggests that if the shrimp are introduced first and are of a larger size then the mix is sometimes do-able......my shrimp were in first, are of a larger size and the flame is only about 2"(smallest flame hawk Ive ever seen)......we'll see how things pan out.....

I think you'll be okay. I have a flame hawk in with two skunk shrimp in a smaller tank then yours and they don't even really look at each other. There a cool fish.

Ha do you really trust a face like that. btw nice colors mang

What a cute little guy I'd love one!

My pink prostrata is not looking as pink as yours right about now. It's actually starting to grow a little bit but for all I know it'll be green coral in a month.

Nice looking Flame Doug. The Hawk should leave the shrimp alone as they were already there. Unless, of course, he gets real hungry. :wink: Any new shrimp or crabs will be dinner though.

The Grizz 03-02-2011 11:42 PM

I never even thought of my Spotted hawk fish might be the reason I can't keep shrimp in my tank. Could it be.....

Nice Flame for sure Dougster and your coral colors look sweet too
