Firefish

so i am getting a firefish are they best kept in pairs or alone?

 

I'd be kinda worried, I put in a firefish with a damsel and the firefish was considerably larger yet the damsel attacked it so I had to move it to another tank. Food for thought though cus your tank is bigger.

 

ok but best in twos or by themselves

 

Pairs if introduced at the same time, otherwise alone. That's what I've heard.

 

k thanks

 

you cant put the reds and, the purples together.

 

ok so ive gotten two respones one that say by themselves and one that says have 2 any more input

 

I have seen a red and a purple hang out together in tanks. Go with what you think and be prepared to act. You never know what the fishes personalities are. The fishes are known to hang out in large numbers in the wild. I had a red and a purple in a 60 years ago that was FOWLR and they did fine even though they did not hang out and I did not have a large number of bolt holes.

 

i have a red a purple together, they get along fine. at least so far. the red has been in the tank for about 2 months, the purple for a month
