Hawkfish tank?

[craig colbert]

Hi lovely peeps.

Was wandering about doing a mostly hawkfish tank and which ones can go together? I wanted indo species and to poss put them with a pair of tomato clowns with nem.... Possible?

Your tank is not of sufficient size for a pair of clownfish and anemone.

+1, 64 liter is about 15 gallon-ish, it's a nice nano tank for gobies and probably a cardinal but I would caution against pair of clown + nem. And definitely not sufficient for hawk(s). Plus, hawkfish are infamous jumpers, if you do plan to obtain hawkfish hopefully after you've upgraded someday, to have a cover on.

And as I recall hawkfish are not real tolerant of each other except in pairs, except in large tanks.

It depends on the species, though in 16g, aggression is more likely. I have seen flame and longnoses together in 50g tanks many times.

I had a red hawkfish and a longnose hawkfish in my 150g without issue.

But the OP is talking about a 15 gallon tank.

Maybe a geometric Pygmy hawk (Plectranthias sp.)...

LOL the answer is still no more than one hawkfish. :facepalm: Unless that 225L is 225 Gallons
