    i know and i was like WTF i spend all this money just for a fish to hide, i don't regret i really do love this tiny fish when it comes out

    My female clown likes to fight the male a lot, i wonder if their fighting is causing it to hide, i was worried about the female fighting with the firefish, but she doesn't mess with him at all.

    I'm sure in time. When I first got my red head pseudo he only hung out in the rocks, but now he's out swimming all the time. Princess just needs to get comfortable!

    Not every thing takes time. Only the good things. Bad things happen really fast.

    for sure. people have always said saltwater tanks are hard to take care of. So far with my almost 4 months experience their pretty easy. Only hard this is the waiting part.

    I have two firefish. In the first month I had them, they rarely came out, typically only after I fed the tank. Lately, though, they are out constantly, only going into their hidey-hole at night. I think it takes them a while to get acclimated and settled, but once mine did, they have become very social little guys.
