    +1 They should be fine. Fish may not eat for the first day or two, though.

    I wouldn't bother trying to feed them the first day. They won't need the food and are almost always too stressed anyways. Wait till tomorrow. Congrats on the new adds!

    here they are out of hiding both together they seem to be a mated pair no fighting yet and at the store they were hanging out together also and seem to like hanging out in the same corner in my tank

    altho im still curios on why my tank is cloudy and it been cloudy for awhile, even after multiple water changes and such, its been cloudy like this for about a week or more. its not cloudy cloudy it just has a haze to it.

    Firefish are normally kept in groups, not necessarily mated.
