I never got around to testing today, I'll make sure I get it done tomorrow.. =/

 

[n3ont3tra]

I'm deciding to actually update this again. XD
Everything is doing good.
Parameters are fine.


Complete stocking is:
2 Flame Hawkfish (mated pair) (~2" and ~2.5")
1 Clarki Clownfish (~3")
1 Six line Wrasse (~2")
Ricordias (3 seperate ones, all grown from the one original)
Palythoas (only one polyp, grew from live rock)
~8-10 Scarlet Hermit Crabs (assorted sizes)
~3 Yellow Tipped Hermit Crabs (all very small)
~25 Assorted snails (~5 Nassarius, ~10 Astreas, 5 Banded Trochus, 2 Turbos)
1 Fighting conch
1 Brittle Starfish (large!)
1 Emerald Crab


Recently I tried adding a jawfish, which died after a few days, then another one that jumped out.
Next I think I will add a sailfin (algae) blenny.
Pics coming within a week.

nice photos Esp the flame hawks. Color is sooo red. Really like the rockwork to. Interesting set up with them.

Do the hawks hang out together or live apart

[n3ont3tra]

It's hard to say lol. Generally the smaller one is more skittish so he stays closer to the rocks, but the bigger one goes everywhere and isn't afraid of anything. sometimes they chase each other around, but sometimes they're like best friends. XD

Don't you just love emm, wish I could find a small mate for mine

Do you know which one is male/female? I'm assuming the larger one is the girl cause thats how it is with clownfish, but i really don't know.

I have tried to find out the same thing without much luck! Seems that some say females can change sex but I can't find any reliable info - may give it another try at the weekend as you have sparked my interest again. Don't think we can assume the larger one is female though, let me know if you find out anything
