Is my longnose hawkfish a killer?

[KingPringles]

Thoroughly confused now. Have lost a blue dotted jawfish, Ocellaris clown, and now my royal gramma in the past 1.5 months. The only guy that keeps swimming is this Longnose Hawkfish...whats going on. Parameters are normal.

34g cube
Cleaner shrimp, emerald crab, hermits and snails...

Have noticed some scales missing from the rear back of the dead fish. Not sure post-mortem or not =ĺ

I would think not. In my experience by longnose never showed much aggression, the times it did, it did not harm anything. I suppose its possible. How did the other fish die?

I've had two over the years and neither showed any aggression towards its tankmates. One was even a Royal Gramma, too.

If your talking about fish that were recently added, it's possible they just died. I usually don't consider a fish good until it's been in the tank for at least a month. But, anything is possible and each fish has it's own personality.

Sure it's dead? Mine lays like that all the time but isn't even close to dead

Especially if you just added it. My first gramma I put down because I thought it was sick. Then the 2nd was also doing it. I then realized they're just weird fish. Search around. Lots of people have the same issue with Grammas

You mentioned your parameters are normal. What are they?

Our Longnose hawkfish, a yellow coris wrasse, a melanurus wrasse and a cardinal fish were the only survivors in a tank crash.

I describe our Longnose hawkfish as the next best thing to a plastic fish.

They are extremely Hardy.
