    I would not not buy the Hawk fish because of peppermeint shrimp. Eventually most shrimps die anyway due to either salinity, temp, or ph rapid swing from a simple mistake that you could make. Really your size tank you should not have more than 3 or 4 fish at the most.

    Peppermint shrimp frequently end up as dinner, if you're keeping them (and they're DARNED useful) be careful what fish you keep, lest the shrimp end up as an expensive snack. I often keep 'em in the fuge unless I have aiptasia.

    Would that be a flame angel IBM?



    My Royal Gramma Basslet eats all my peppermint shrimps. It might have eaten my skunk... not sure on the skunk. Sure on the pepps though.
