Tank Setup Tips for Purple Firefish

Purple Firefish do best in tanks that are at least 20 gallons. They love plenty of live rock to hide in and explore. Keep the water calm because strong flow can stress them out. They are jumpers, so always use a lid or cover on your aquarium.

Feed them small meaty foods like mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and copepods two to three times a day. They are active feeders and will quickly learn to eat from your hand over time.
