Description

Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.

The Arc Eye Hawk has a small adult size of 7" and could be added to a smaller aquarium. These little guys can be seen perching on top of rocks throughout a day, protecting its territory. They will quickly establish a territory and keep other fish at bay, which may be a problem if there are many bottom dwelling fish. The Arc Eye Hawk is a hardy fish that can adapt well to aquarium settings, which makes them ideal for beginner aquarists. They are a possible predator of small ornamental crustaceans. Most hawkfish will readily adapt to a variety of foods, which should include a thawed carnivorous mix. They are a light pink/orange color with a thick white horizontal stripe by the caudal tail. This hawk has a marking around their eyes that looks similar to an "arc." The Arc Eye has nice markings around their face and throat that will get more colorful as they grow. They are found in the Indo Pacific inhabiting lagoons and seaward reefs up to 30 meters deep.

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
