A few weeks ago i bought a coral beauty for my 40g tank. 2 days ago I bought a fire fish. I was planning on getting 2-3 because I know they are better in groups, however the fish store only had one. I put the fire fish in that night, and the next morning i couldn’t find him. I assumed he was...
Hey guys, so I have a 10gallon Waterbox nano tank. I’ve had the firefish for probably over a month now. I had seen it before lights out about 3/4 days ago. And haven’t seen it since. I’ve looked all over the floor, ripped apart my back AIO chambers, no sign of him anywhere. He was always out...
Does my firefish look like it’s sick or is this normal behavior? He usually hides in the live rock but he’s been coming out more often but will lie down on the sand and I really can’t tell if this is normal or not.
I noticed what looked like a stuck piece of food on my firefish's lower jaw yesterday evening. Today it looks worse. Is this damage it did to itself on the rockwork, or something more serious that I need to treat the tank for?
I have a 33 gallon tank with one ocellaris clown fish and a couple ghost shrimp.
I Recently added a fire Fish. The clown and fire fish were good for a couple hours but then the clown started dive bombing him. I put the clown on a breeder box in the tank “jail” for a day and a half. I also...
Hi all
I have just purchased a very greedy Firefish who I have been feeding twice a day! I do 8 small pellets in the morning and 8 again in the eve, I also drop in 2/3 flakes as the hermit crabs and nas snail go crazy for them so like to make sure they have enough to!
How often and how much...
Guys I finally got the first edition! The tank is 13 weeks old, full of copepods and I finally took the plunge with a Firefish! I’ve been waiting for the perfect one as I’m aware I’m limited on options and I think it’s so pretty!
Would like to add 3 sexy shrimp in a couple weeks but any ideas...

Hey all,
Purchased a Firefish from a LFS 3 weeks ago, has been healthy and showing no signs of disease. Last night however, I noticed that his tail fin is starting to tear? This must have occurred within the last 24hrs as I havent noticed it before. Is this an early sign of some sort of disease...
Hi there,
I have a question about the aggression of the Blue Devil Damsel.
I transferred this fish into a new red sea reefer 350 & sadly didn't research its aggression towards new fish. I've had this guy for over a year in a nano tank with a clown.
It was bullying a new firefish for the first...
I bought two firefish (mistake). The smaller of the two has been nipping at the larger who doesn't seem to make any effort to move away. I've read that they don't fight if put in the tank at the same time (which I did). I've also read never to keep two together unless they are a M/F pair...
I just recently noticed that one of my Firefish has an odd spot on his eye. You can see in the picture that the top one has the weird spot and the bottom one is fine. The same fish with the spot was getting bullied by my pistol shrimp for a little bit, but I think that has resolved itself. The...
Hello guys! New reefer here, I currently have a 10 gallon reef tank which is about 5 months old. Currently have a few LPS corals and a few softies in there, which most have been in my tank around a month or two. I made this thread because I recently purchased a fluval evo 13.5, and I am going to...
Hi guys,
Story time, and then a question!
I have a purple firefish who was living happily and peacefully with the rest of his tankmates for about 6 months. He was always out and about, just part of the crew. Then, I attempted to add a six line wrasse, who, minutes after introduction, proceeded...
Saw this on my firefish as I was about to do my water change and I saw him "darting" across the sand a couple of times. Is this fluke or ich? Can I just treat the tank with prazipro (the only other fish in the tank is a cardinal)? I'm QT a fish in my QT tank right now and currently treating the...
I've had him for a month and he's in there with a threadfin cardinal and nothing else except for corals. This is the first time I've seen him like this. He's always been hiding for 3 weeks (coming out occasionally), but for the past week, he's been coming out and swimming in the tank, but I saw...
Hi, I have a firefish (the only fish there) in my 55 gallon tank that has 40 lbs or rock. It spends the majority (90%) of its time in between the rocks and doesn't come out for feeding unless I leave the tank (I have a camera pointed at the tank so I know that he's coming out when I'm gone)...
I've had a couple of firefish who built a home under the live rocks. Just introduced a diamond goby who quickly went into their home and started digging. Will they both get along or will this be a problem?
Yesterday I got home to see my fire fish stuck in the bio cube 32 back wall filtration thing, with his head sticking out into the tank, and the rest of his body in the 1st filtration area. I got him out and he kind of lifelessly sank to the bottom, and sat there for about an hour or 2, and he...
So I was wondering, what should I get next fish wise. I have a 13 gallon with a pair of clowns and a cleaner shrimp + a clean up crew. I want to get a Exquisite Firefish, as my centerpiece fish. But I also want something that is productive for the fish tank like a sand sifting goby. What do you...
several fish has started dying and i think it is brook. I got it from a mandarin i got. Of course i just plopped it in and thought everything will go fine. Well 3 fish died and now only 2 clowns and a firefish is left. The clowns are in horrible condition, still eating but skin is slouching off…...
I want to know how one could call a firefish peaceful given how territorial they are. There really should be some mention of that. We have named ours Ursula - she is a purple firefish who is a giant bully to our pair of bluestreak cardinals. Now she isn’t out for blood like yellowtail damsels...
