IF im correct, a "giant" hawk needs a "giant" tank, lol. I dont think too many people have them, but i know there is at least one person i have heard of on this site with one.

not exactually my uncle has one in a 55G with 2 other fish. They dont swim much just stay on rocks

how big is it

 

[tome]

I'm not sure the size of it full grown but its pretty big and aggressive.

They don't swim much because they do not have a swim bladder. However, they are a very cool fish.

The giant hawks get to be about 14 inches, I do believe.

Well I was at my uncles house today where he has a full sized grown one and its only about a foot long.
