New fish in hiding, I think.

2in10, I believe CODEE111 said they are in a 95 gallon tank.

 

Thanks, I really like firefish and if I add more fish these may well be the ones.

 

The first one was a 75 gallon but the one I'm using now is a 95 gallon with lots of live rock, fish, and coral.

 

So Ive been trying to research this fishes diet. Most references state the eat through the water column. Is that true, or does anyone spot feed this fish. I recently bought some pellets, going to give that a try.

 

I alternate my feeding for the fish and coral. One day I feed the tank frozen brine shrimp, the next day Blood Worm, the next a Algae Flake, the next some baby Brine, and occasionally I give my tank seaweed (the clowns love it). My firefish seem to be healthy and do flutter around during feeding time no matter which food I put in the tank. I have not noticed them being picky at all. I can only feed the tank so much (afraid of raising the nitrates and PH) but I want them all to get their favorites and to be healthy so we alternate daily. I'll watch mine in the morning to see if they are actually eating the food I put in the tank....I guess I never thought about their feeding before....As long as their healthy and happy....right.

 

This morning I fed the tank frozen Brine Shrimp and the little Firefishies gobbled it up. Then I gave them a small treat of Bloodworms and they gobbled that up. It is safe to say they definitely eat through their mouths.

This morning I tapped the glass with my wedding ring and they looked at me like I was stupid so they are definitely not afraid of me and don't seem to be skidish in my tank. No one even went into hiding but I suspect they were cursing at me. Their little tubes sticking up and down were twitching like crazy....probably thinking that "Mommy Person" is a moron.

 

my firefish eats most of the smaller frozen foods... specifically recommend mysis; cyclopeeze for picky eaters....

 

Here it is. Finally got a pic, not the best but it works. I will get better ones little later when it gets brave.

 

Congrats....He came out to get his picture taken.

 

Nice, congrats!
