Wondering if I can add a flame hawkfish to my Biocube 14. The other fish in the tank are a false percula and a sixline wrasse. Thanks for any advice.

It is recommended that you have a 30 gallon or larger, so no your tank is too small for this fish.

I am sorry, but in a 14 you are already pushing maximum capacity with the two that you have. Flame hawks are active and inquisitive fish. They are mean in small tanks anyway. You can get some cool inverts though! Have you checked out the nano forum?

Flame Hawks are also extremely aggresive, I had mine for about a week until it went back to my LFS.

All hawks are a little mean. I am sorry you had to give yours back. I honestly wish that I could get one myself, but Sir Quizzy (my hawk) would fight with a flame. Hawks are such great fish! They aren't suitable in small tanks and in some other situations though. They truly are awesome fish in the right mix

Thanks Dori, for the input. So I guess no more fish for me, time for more coral

Eh, no, I don't think I would put a flame hawkfish in a 14gallon anyways. I would say minimum 55 even though they can go in 30gallons.

I saw some Flame Hawks this past weekend at a few of the stores I went too. They look really cool, and appeared to have a TON of personality. I didn't know they were aggressive though.
