    I got a thirty gallon reef tank with two small ocelaris clowns and was wanting to know if I could add some more fish and if so any ideas? Tank runs ammonia/nitrite/nitrate at 0 according to test kits. Corals in tank are toadstool, hairy mushroom, gsp, some zoas, and a small torch coral

    I dont know about the hawkfish, they are a crap shoot on if they play well with others. I have one & he shows alot of attitude & bullies quite a bit. I've had my eye on a blue spot jawfish at the LFS, he shows alot of personality and is a riot to watch but don't wanna drop that much money atm.

    blue dot jaw fish are about $100 and hawkfish might eat tiny hermits and snails plus tiny shrimp so not much to worry about and they eat tiny fish!they are safe with coral though ...and flame and falco are peaceful hawk fish:)
