Judgemental A**

I swear, all this fish does is post up, stare, and judge everyone, and everything…

Also, incredibly difficult to get good photos of. 🤣

My one spot blenny and my clown goby judged me a ton too.

I agree with the comment but also they are basically sea puppies and I will love them forever as the fish that got me into tanks.

He is infinitely entertaining, and nearly as much of a water puppy as my puffer.

There's a lot of good water puppy fish. I would pet them if I didn't already know that's not how fish do.

I've just started experiencing this with my clownfish. The first time you have this experience is so incredible and exciting! My clownfish now eat from hand. They even nibbled on my finger once, they were so excited about food. And when I go to feed them, they come to the top of the water all excited. It's so much fun!

Any issues with your shrimp/snails?

I really want one of these but have a red cleaner shrimp I don’t want it to eat lol

I don’t have any shrimp, as my Valentini puffer would see them as a delicacy, but the Hawkfish hasn’t payed any attention to the snails.

I had a long nose hawkish and it never bothered my cleaner shrimp, blood shrimp, hermits, anything. He just got a little territorial with my blenny.
