Red spotted hawk fihs and shrimp

[Zack]

Hello
Will a red spotted hawk and a cleaner shimp be ok, will shrmp be killed you think??

[Charles Poole]

Most likely the hawk will not bother the shrimp. Most reef fish seem to know that the benefits of skipping that particular shrimp snack may come in handy some day. But as always, fish are individuals so keep an eye on them for a little while....

Well hawk fish tipically eat shrimp as their diet but i have seen a pic. of a cleaner shrimp cleaning a flame hawk!!!!

So like stated it all depends on the fish u get

Hey
Good point sandman12, decided not to get the hawk. Thanks for all your help guys!!

I wanted one so bad also but i like the shrimp also and one fish takes those privilages away. Mabe in another tank some day. but with my new tank iam thinking of going aggressive so i still dont get my flame hawk :cry:

IMHO hawks are much less exciting than people think. They just sit there, pirched, then swoop in for food. A fish without a swim bladder is a car that only goes in one direction :lol:
