Helfrich's firefish

[Xtasia]

Not that this helps much either...

but I've had my Fire fish for 1.5 years and he was the only one to survive my tank hyposalinty/ich wipe out.. he lived in a crappy half filled 10g with an air stone for 2 months under quarantine.. and when I put him back into the tank, he was the KING of the tank... lording his MASSIVE porportions over the baby tang (less than a quarter size), baby perc clowns, baby royal gramma... He would bully the other fish, and swim out in the open. I have never seen such a tiny fish throw his weight around so much! I knew in a few months he would be in for a BIG surprise. hah!

Months later.. now that the "kids" have grown up.. he's dug himself a neat little tunnel underneath a rock and is shacking up with a pistol shrimp (weird! I know!). He's more of a shy eater and less of a tyrant these days.

I think firefish have seriously awesome personalities and you should definitely get it!
