[engineer]

any reefers out there experience having these 2 fishes in a tank?

planning to get a neon goby soon. falco hawkfish had been a resident in my tank for almost a month. was wondering will falco hawkfish chase the neon goby?

Errr..... what's Falco hawkfish? You mean Long nose hawk or Flame hawk?

Anyway, I kept both together once. As long as you have a big enough tank they should be alright.

should be ok. falco and neon goby. just take note falcos are aggressive

hawk need to take note. they tend to get itchy mouth at times whenever things can fit into their mouth. especially shrimps.

i will suggest to be on the safe side, dun get either of one unless neon is bigger in size.

all the best.

I suggest not to keep falco. Almost 99% of all owners regret getting it. Don't limit ureself. I gave mine up coz not willing to risk my prized fishes

previously mine neon ended up at the long nose hawk fish mouth

i will say that hawks will at times consume small gobies. however it is unusual for fishes to eat cleaners. because of their blue/black combination, it allows other fishes to know that they are cleaners. its a colour combination called "cleaner blue"

however, no guarantees. if the neon goby is bigger, you can try. smaller ones are no no.

I'll more worry abt the fella going into overflow then being eaten up by the hawkfish. So if you have a big enough tank, they'll be fine. Healthy goby should be able to get away from hawkfish easily.

yup, my dottyback was starved to death 2 days ago. kept chasing my dottyback away whenever its feeding time.

i actually caught the fish from my tank yesterday already, intending to return to the fish farm but my wife kept saying she likes the falco, so seeing that my dottyback was gone, i let go back into my tank. now my falco is the smallest fish inside.
