Excellent addition Brandon! I love Longnose Hawkfish and miss the one I had in my first tank. I've been apprehensive about getting another though as I like to have shrimp in the tank and they reportedly don't mix well. If you have shrimp, can you keep us posted on how he does with those?

Great fish! I have one in my 30. Mine is open top & never has been a problem as far as jumping goes.

Curious about this, too. They strike me as cool fish but I've never had one because my tanks have always had little delicate inverts.

I have a Canon t1i, and i havent seen him try to pick any shrimp that i have or crab. At night it stalks around but my peppermint shrimp is still alive and doing well with "the creeper" in there. so far so good

 

[alphaferret]

Gaining his trust-til he finally creeps in there next to him and whispers....GULP!

I have one of these in my tank too. I haven't seen him bother any of the inverts, but what is weird is that I can't say I've ever seen him eat either (I've had him about a month to 6 weeks). If I put frozen food in the tank, he gets excited and swims around, but I don't actually see him take any bigger pieces of food (he has no interest in pellets at all). I've tried brine, mysis, 50/50 - nothing. So, unless he's filter feeding, or eating other things in the tank at night when I can't see him, I'm not sure he's eating anything.

But, if he wasn't eating anything, I would have thought he would have demised by now. A normal fish can't go 6 weeks without eating before going belly up, can it?

Otherwise, it behaves "normally".

Thats a beauty of a photo Brando

The one in my display tank has been there for 9 months and never harmed any of the peppermint shrimp in there.

watch out their jumpers...i had one jump out through the 1/2in crack from the door being open on my hood... i came home from work and found it dried up on the floor :/

 

[oneradtek202]

thank god im totally covered

 

[sg1838]

Yep, same here. If mine can jump out of my tank, he deserves to die.
