Okay, I want to know if a Flame Hawk Fish will be tough enough to hold his own against a Flameback Angel? I added the Angel to my tank a week ago. I know that general rule of thumb is that an Angel should be the last fish added because of how territorial they are but after consulting with my trusted LFS we thought that a Flame Hawk would be able to successfully hold his own so I bought one and added him late Wednesday night so really Thursday was his first full day in the tank and I did notice the Angel picking on him yesterday evening...nothing too vicious, just chasing him around a little and then the Angel would lose interest and go back to grazing on the rocks. Should I be worried about the Flame Hawk? He is so cute with those puppy dog eyes but if he's going to be miserable maybe I should take him back. I known it's only been a day and I figured I'd give them 3 days or so together and see if after the initial introduction the Angel will leave him alone or he'll stand up to the Angel and they'll form some sort of truce.
