All Comments: Firefish

I have 2 firefish. I haven't seen one of them now for about 5 days, and the other one dissappeared today. Does anyone know how long these guys can survive if they burrow into the sand or into a hole in a rock? I'm a bit nervous because they are my favorite fish, and i hate it when fish die.

I have a purple firefish that is so funny to watch! It spends a lot of time swimming in the powerhead current trying to catch particles of food that float by, or "bickering" with my yellowtail blue damsel. Nothing serious, just fun and games!

Don't forget about the deeper-water Helfrichi Firefish; even rarer and much more expensive.

He is very fast and cool. He unfortunately died while he was with many other fish :(

I have a pair of gobies who are now breeding. Like most dartfish the females are duller in color and the males colors are more intense especially when breeding, and they have longer doral and ventral fins.

I saw these at HMNS as an ad for an IMAX and decided that if I get a marine tank these guys come first!

what a cute little guy

We have had Rin and Stimpy (our two firefish) for 2 years in our 135 gal aquarium. They have been hiding in a rock off and on for over 2 months now. Today we realized why!!! We have baby fire fish about 1//4" long swimming near their rock. Shrimp is the only thing to ever reproduce in our tank. We are so excited. Hopefully a few of them will grow big enough to be safe in the tank.

the firefish I got two days ago seems to prefer brine srimp and slow sinking pellets.

Very easy to keep. Shy at first, but once established swims in the open. Great addition to any tank.
