Longnose Hawkfish

[katowoo]

How aggressive is the longnose hawkfish. I have a 29G w/ a true perc/dwarf flame angel/ 6 line wrasse / purple firefish / dragonet and a larger fire shrimp and a medium size cleaner shrimp.
TIA

Might eat the cleaner shrimp, but mine never touched any of my shrimp. The least aggressive hawkfish.

i've had mine for three weeks now....never bothers my other fishes. He does however, perches himself on my Zoes alot. I've noticed alot of them won't open up anymore. I've had to rearrange their placement so he wouldnt bother them. I used to have alot of pods running around my rocks, but now I don't see them as much.

I hope you have some type of cover for the tank, It might take the leap of doom!!

I have had 2 and neither one of them showed any aggression towards other fish, or shrimp. But my Skunk Cleaner Shrimp, and Coral Banded Shrimp are both larger than my Longnose Hawk.
