Forster's hawkfish

[hawkey992]

These have been my dream fish for a while and until recently I never saw one for sale anywhere. They have some mediums on Bluezooaquatics.com for sale and I'm planning on getting one for my 90g. I've done lots of research on them and kept most other species of hawkfish before but I would love to hear if anyone has any personal experience with forster's hawks?

I've kept them in the past, they can be agressive, eating fish and shrimp, but they are hardy and easy to care for. They get kind of big so be careful of the tank mates you keep them with.

I was planning on putting it by itself with some softies, zoas, xenias and such

If you are devoting a 90 gal tank to one species of fish and one specimen, why don't you search for a mated pair? Now that would be stunning if they had good color. Someone must be able to get them.

that would be awesome indeed, I've never seen a pair for sale and they can be tough to sex too. I'll try asking around though, I know a fish dealer who's pretty well connected
