Hawkfish Compatability Question

[mcquillian]

Can you have more than one Hawkfish in your tank? I currently have one Red Hawkfish, but just saw a Hawaiian Hawkfish that was rather cool looking. Thanks for your response.

IME, they will fight, given a large enough tank, it might work, I had a long nose hawk, a flame hawk and a falco hawk in a 150g reef tank at one point and it worked fine, but in a smaller tank they would have shredded each other.

What about 2 flame hawks or same conspecies

Would 2 flames go at it?

 

[reefrunner69]

You would soon only have one flame hawk

The reason I ask this - I saw two Flame Hawkfish in the same tank at my LFS. Does not really matter. I am going to stick with the one I have. Thanks for the insight.
