Red Hawkfish, also known as the Soaring, Swallowtail, or Lyretail Hawkfish, has a streak of orange and bright red within the body. The tail's shape is lyre which distinguishes it from other species of hawkfish. A bigger than 30 gallons of aquarium space is enough for this strong and robust fish. It is possible to place it with other Red Hawkfish if all are added to the tank at the same time and enough space is available. While it is a shrimp-feeding fish, it's excellent as a reef fish under the right conditions. It utilizes anemones as well as huge-polyped corals in order to defend itself against the elements. The Red Hawkfish diet should include different seafood products including frozen foods, live feeder shrimp. Approximate Size 1" to 2-1/2"

Helpful Questions From Clients
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hiring a professional necessary to set up a saltwater aquarium?

As a general rule, a larger custom aquarium might require installation by a professional. However, a kit from our online fish store is relatively affordable and beginner friendly. That means you should have no problem setting it up yourself.

Which saltwater aquarium fish should you choose when starting out?

Consider a yellow tang fish. This popular saltwater aquarium fish does a great job of coexisting with other types of fish you’ll find in our online fish store.

How does a saltwater aquarium differ from a freshwater one?

Saltwater aquariums require a bit more maintenance and monitoring than freshwater tanks. Different fish require different levels of salinity, pH tolerances, and temperature requirements. They also require specialized pumps, filters, and other equipment that can handle salt. We can guide you through everything you need to know to set up a healthy, thriving reef tank.

Do fish in a saltwater aquarium swim in a school?

That depends on the species. However, if it’s a fish that swims in a school in the wild, they’ll do the same in an aquarium. Some fish that swim in schools include the green and blue chromis, cardinalfish, and dartfish, for example. When ordering from an online fish store, make sure you do your research on how specific fish species behave to ensure they’ll school (or at least coexist) with your current fish.

Is the effort required to maintain a saltwater aquarium worth it?

Yes! Many aquarists dream of owning thriving saltwater aquariums. You have a tiny piece of the ocean in your home, featuring magical and exotic fish that can only survive in saltwater.
