Hey everybody,

I have a few questions. I have a 55gallon that has a falco hawkfish,

and a Valentini Puffer

My first question is how well has your experiences with hawkfish in a reef aquarium been? I'm interested in keeping him and just placing him in my 120 reef.

Also who is interested in the Valentini Puffer. He only requires smaller systems but larger is better of course. I've owned him about 3 months. Asking price would be 10 dollars obo...

thanks everyone for looking. I live in the middle of La Crosse basically and can make plans to meet with anybody I need to.

Your hawkfish would have to be watched with inverts, they're notorious for having them for dinner. My flame once attacked and ate a shrimp bigger than him.

thats what I was affraid of. Ill probably just have to get rid of him as well.

I used to have a flame and a long nose hawkfish...I think they are both some of the most interesting fish in the tank...but yeah, you'll have shrimp issues with them most likely. Both are pearching fish...I don't believe either have swim bladders...I love the longnose ones with the stripes in particular.

I always wanted a flame hawk. then i found out they ate shrimps. I decided i like my shrimp better

I have a falco hawk fish in my aquarium and I have not had any problems with it yet. The shrimp that I have are about the same size as him. He is a lot of fun to watch he is quiet a character he loves the camera and he is always front and center when I walk up to the tank.

well i dont know what im going to do yet. i have a skunk thats still pretty small and blood red shrimp that isnt all that large yet either. I'll more then likely get rid of them both.

does anybody want either or both. pm or let me know in the thread, so far no offers.

(see post number 12 for correction on this post, I was special and could not type apparently)

How big is the hawk? Depending I'd definitely be interested in him.

yeah sorry guys, i had no typing skills yesterday. Im getting rid of the fish, no way getting rid of the shrimp would work with two larger tangs.

Nick, Hawk fish is about 2 inchs maybe. Very colorful even under standard flouro's. Owned him about 2 months. I'm trying to get 10 dollars out of each fish but will take offers and or trades.

[firsthesitation]

Sounds good to me, I don't know when I'll get to Lacrosse next, maybe saturday afternoon/night?

[Afish4u]

how much for the flaco?

[firsthesitation]

Maybe I was unclear now, I was going to take the hawk.....You had previously said $10. Unless I have frags you want I don't have anything else to trade.
