I miss my flame hawk a LOT. That is an awesome little fish! Great description of their personality btw.

Man the colours of that female blackspot are exquisite. Genicanthus FTW!

When I had the bigger tank, this was one fish I was always after as well. IMO, much nicer then the dwarf angels...but I am also not a fan of most dwarf angels other than flame. I had a coral beauty once but didn't really do much for me and it was a nasty little fish once it got big.

I love bold, graphic patterns like in the adult. I wonder if Marimekko will ever put out a nice fish species

With all the small fish in the tank, I think you need to make sure not to add anything that may harass them.

One thing I find when looking at a tank is that if the fish are 100% peaceful, the experience is serene and relaxing...I really get lost in the tank lol. But if there is any aggression, it just completely changes the experience. My big tank had just the slightest bit of aggression (hippo hated the tusk) and it killed it for me.

A tank changes when fish start chasing each other, even if its just the slightest bit. I have seen some peoples tank that are just hard to see the beauty in because they fish won't leave each other alone. Used to drive me nuts in my own tank...watching it was always a little uneasy instead of calming.

Just my opinion though

The top is the female and the bottom the male. I think both are adults?

Oh ok. Didn't know that. I guess that makes sense since they look about the same size
