    I have a pair of regular Firefish in my 65g right now and thought it would be cool to have a pair of purple Firefish also. I know that they will fight with their "own kind" if they are not a mated pair, but are they different enough to get along?

    The first problem is I don't remember the last time I saw a mated pair of purple firefish for sale and I wouldn't go with a non-mated pair of purples. They may well fight with the other firefish. Generally purples are more territorial. In big tanks you can sometimes get away with it, but I'm thinking 65 probably would be risky.
