Nice looking fish you have! I love that hawk! How is he with the other fish? I guess all hawks are known jumpers?

So far..he's still pretty shy...doesn't bother the other fish...they say it is more related to an anthias than a hawkfish.

I have a geometric pygmy hawk as well. I never knew hawkfish were considered jumpers, the ones I've had never showed any signs of wanting to jump. My geo hawk is very shy, he hid in my tank for 2 months before I saw him again after I first got him. Now he stays hidden about 90% of the time but at least I usually see him a few times a week for a few minutes each time.

In my experience they have been and I hear that all the time but it would depend on the species I guess?

I don't know too much about hawks. Only had 2 and both actually jumped

Some nighttime pictures with the lights out (with flash).

Tailspot Blenny...he should be sleeping!



Pom Pom Crab...Never see him much in the day other than feeding time but every night he explores the tank.

How do you focus if the room and tank are not lit? Does your camera have the little light that assists with focusing?

Yes it does. Takes a long time to get focused when its dark. I just take a lot of pictures and then a few usually turn out nice. I have a few more that look pretty good that I will post later.

Wow, those pictures worked out not too bad considering it's with flash (when I try with flash, the colours are hugely washed out).

One thing you might want to consider as a nifty little DIY project one day, is a lens ring flash (eliminates the shadow since the light source is also the viewpoint).
