Falco Hawk and Cleaner Shrimp

[mnellis3023]

Hello Everyone,
I have a Falco Hawkfish in my 36x24 tank, and would like to add a cleaner shrimp to the system. What are the chances that the Falco will eat the cleaner shrimp

Pretty darn good , I would say!

Although I never had a falco, all my other hawks were voracious predators . I suppose it depends on the size of both individuals .

Never had a problem here.....get larger cleaners and have them there before the hawk.

mnellis3023 , I take back what I said before. I think you can do it . I did not remember how small they are.

Thanks guys
I already have the hawk in place. I have not been able to find a cleaner shrimp that is decent sized, only the babies that are the same size as a peppermint or smaller

I would not put a cleaner shrimp in the tank after falco hawk.I had one in my tank before I put hawk in the tank,no problems at all.I tried to put second cleaner shrimp,good size ,it got torn apart as soon as it hit water.
