[untilthen]

so i have read that they are pretty peaceful and are very interesting... but i also read that about my cbs that i recently took back to the fish store due to it trying to eat everything in my tank... whats your guys opionin on them when keeping them in a reef tank?

it would be accompanied by a watchman goby and a tomato clown in a 20 gallon long>?

I just recently added a pygmy hawkfish to my 20 gallon reef about 3 weeks ago and so far everyone is getting along fine. The only other fish I have in there are a crested blenny and a frillfin goby whos still a juvenile. Since theses fish are pretty closely related I would think you shouldnt have too much trouble if you keep him feed.

Mine is your worst nightmare if you're a pellet of fish food. Otherwise, the worst he ever does is try to sit in the same place as my lawnmower blenny.

However, one concern I have is the bioload on a 20L. You may have trouble controlling excess nutrients after throwing another fish into the mix.
