    i think the shimmer effect makes it better. it looks like its flickering to attrach food like angler fish do with the lure. VERY COOL!!!!

    i only get to see it for a quick couple seconds :D and no idea, i thought someone said that their firefish does not do this with the moonlights, this is the first time that ive heard/seen a firefish glow in the "dark"

    yea its really cool :D i feel for you about staring at an emptiy tank you should really try to find the helfrichi, even though their expensive their worth it to have a glow in the dark fish if you have moonlights, although i dont know if youd be able to find one in a 110 their pretty small
