    Hi,

    I have three of these little guys in my 120g since a month already. I see them growing but I have actually never saw one of them eating something?!?

    Do you have experience with this fish?

    Thank you.

    My falco hawkfish loves mysis. When in a hurry, I feed flakes (omega one w/ garlic) which he also devours. I've also feed him blood worms. He doesn't bother with arcti pods or smaller foods. Might want to try adult brine shrimp. Again, mysis is your best bet.

    Good luck, and let us know if and what they eat.

    My geometric pygmy hawkfish loves mysis and brine, and will sometimes eats Cyclopeeze. The shrimp is his favorite by far though and he eats a ton of it!
