Royal gramma lived peacefully with clownfish and valentini puffer for two months, then i added flame hawkfish, now i have dead clown and gramma is beat up and hiding in its hole. I personally didnt notice any aggression while feeding. Tank size is 29 gallon. What to do? Gramma was in the tank from the beginning.

If people did a through search on fish they intend to put in their tanks prior to purchase they could save a lot of head and heart aches. The Flame Hawk is a cool fish no doubt, but it becomes a bully as it matures. You can search all fish that you would like to add to your tank at Live Aquaria website. They give descriptions on compatibility, size they become, tank size needed, what they eat and what to keep your water parameters to maintain a healthy fish.

They can be a jerk. Mines was a jerk a little while with my Coral Beauty, as of now everything is peachy creamy.

I think liveaquaria says it requires a 30 gallon, IMO they need a 55 or bigger. The key with them is to have them smallest fish in the tank and the other fish should be at least semi-aggressive.
