    So i had a GHA outbreak, purchased a lawnmower blenny to help keep the grass mowed......this morn when i got up I found my flame hawk on the ground!!:hothead: He jumped out!! Was curious about anyones experience or opinions with keeping these to fish together in harmony? I loved my flame hawk and I will be getting another one. If they are not compatible, then when lenny the blenny is done mowing the lawn, I will be returning him.

    I have one, I never seen aggression towards other fish from mine. Maybe passive aggression, he will swim and sit right beside the ywg or clown and they will try to get him to leave, but he just sits there.
    He will take it out on snails though, never harms them. He picks them up and moves them.
    Every fish is different though.

    Thanks for info....now after 2 days in the tank, I can't see the blenny.....hopefully he's just hiding! I'm gonna be real mad if they are both gone now!
