Hi all,
I recently made an additionof 2 to my fish family. One is a percula (sp?) clownfish and the other is a flame hawkfish. I actually have a question on both additions.
First the hawkfish seems to just sit on things in the tank with nothing but his eyes moving. Sometime he will wedge himself into somewhere and do the same (just those crazy eyes moving).
Sometimes he will even float to a completly verticle position before deciding to move to right himself. I read that they like to "perch" is that what I am observing? He has only been in the tank about 10 hours now so perhaps he is still acclimating?
Second question is more general. When I first put the percula into the tank my black and white clown went right after him. This went on for about half an hour and then seemed to stop for the most part.
My question is do fish establish a pecking order and if so is that what i was witnessing? They seem ok with each other now.
Both fish are eating and all seems well now except the behavior of the hawkfish seems kind of odd.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
