Arc eye hawkfish

[loubee]

Hello everyone!

I'm thinking of getting an arc eye for my tank. However I know they can eat shrimps... How dodgy is it? (I have a fully grown pair of cleaners and pair of boxers & its a 600ltr tank with pleanty of rockwork).

Thanks, Lou

I wasnt familiar with the fish so I looked it up. VERY cool fish. If you want it and it wouldnt break your heart if your shrimp ended up a meal, go for it.

From what I read it isnt dodgy at all, your shrimp will most likely get eaten sooner than later.

The shrimp will most likely get eaten, but they are very fun fish to watch!

I'm very tempted by this fish but think I'd like to keep the shrimps!! Maybe a scarlet hawk would be a safer option?
