Yea he's a huge PIA. Orchid dottyback. He's killed several hundred dollars worth of fish. I've tried every means of catching him and distracting him, but unfortunately he's much smarter than me. He must be close to 8 yrs old now. So until he dies no new additions for my tank. He must think he's a 6 line. Same attitude

I almost chose the orchid, but went with the hawk. Glad I did after reading this! So far everybody seems fine and the hawk is all over the tank

I've had a few hawks over the years, I've only noticed them harass other fish if the fish was added after them, anybody that was in before was ok.
