Quick Care Guide

Tank Requirements

Provide sheltered caves, gentle feeding areas and a tightly covered tank. Tank recommendations refer to long-term housing; adult size, tank footprint and existing livestock also matter.

Diet & Feeding

Offer small mysis, finely chopped marine foods and appropriately sized prepared foods.

Temperament & Compatibility

Avoid aggressive fish; keep singly unless an established compatible pair.

Water Conditions

• Temperature: 75–78°F
• Specific gravity: 1.024–1.026
• pH: 8.1–8.4
• Ammonia and nitrite: undetectable

Maintain stable conditions, good oxygenation and regular water quality checks. Match acclimation to the fish's actual holding water.

Special Considerations

Cover even small lid gaps; startled firefish can jump.

Sold individually unless the selected listing states otherwise. Size, color and pattern vary by specimen.
