Red Spotted Hawkfish

Need some info. on this fish. I can't find anything too great on the internet. Can it get along with a Falco Hawkfish of equal size that is introduced at the same time? Just curiosity. Please send some links for good websites!! Thanks

Amblycirrhitus pinos is a pretty small hawkfish, theyre not a species that you really need to fear being around inverts or other fish. He'll just perch somewhere and watch everything. I'd feed him mysis and pellets. Im not sure about him and the falco as theyre pretty similar...how large is the tank?

Yes, it should be fine. I can't say I hear about intra-hawkfish aggression much.

It's a 45 (U.S.) gallon tank.

I wanted to know also, since we're talking about Hawkfish, would a Falco pester anything less aggressive than itself? Such as gobies, blennies, or anything else close to them. I've heard also that the Hawkfish tend to bother bottom-dwelling species too. Is this true?

I'd stick to one hawk in a 45

That does seem like the best idea. I'll stick to one hawk. Thanks
