I had one hide in my tank for a month and a half. I thought for sure he had either jumped out or starved to death and got eaten by something in the tank. Turned out that he was scared and hidding from the trigger we put in the tank. As soon as we sold the trigger (a month and a half after getting him) the firefish came out of hidding. Unfortunatly our firefish took to carpet surfing during a tank move later on.

I've had a firefish in my tank for ~6 months. The only time I ever see him is at feeding time

You might also want to check your tankmates, and your current flow in the tank.

I had lots of flow in my tank (K4, Seio 820) and I thought this could be contributing to my firefish staying in the rocks.

Removed the K4 for a K1, and the firefish is front and center at all times now!

Just a thought.

I have K2 in the tank and nothing more.....the only other fish in the tank are the watchman, and the clown

Thanks everyone for their insight, I'll be keeping my eyes peeled much longer I assume.

Just a quick update to those who offered their help to me.

Must have been a little bit of the "first day jitters" because he front and center now ladies and gents!

Thanks again for all your help.

Glad to hear. They are great at hiding themselves.
