#firefish

Hey everyone, first post here! I just set up my saltwater tank, got it cycled and added my first and only fish, a firefish goby. My plan with the tank was to add the first fish directly and then set up a QT for all the fish afterwards (realizing that was a poor choice). I got the firefish and he...

I have an exquisite firefish who is spending his entire day in his little cave because my bristletooth Tomini tang is bullying him. He used to come out for feeding time, but lately I’ve started spot feeding into his cave because he stopped coming out at feeding. This can’t go on forever because...

Not sure what this bubble or bump is on my firefish’s spike. The fish is swimming fine, eating fine and acting normal. No issues with water parameters. Everything is within normal limits. All other fish are fine 32 gallon bio cube with two clown fish, a lawnmower blenny, a firefish, and cleanup...

One day he was fine and last night he looked like this . He’s not eating. Was he attacked by a hermit crab? Is it a parasite or bacteria? I also have a clown who looks fine and a tangaroa goby who looks fine. What happened to my poor fire fish?!? He is 1.5 years old. Is there a chance he could...

Hi guys. Hoping someone can help me. Recently my fire fish has been un well, his belly has swollen up, he's not eat very much and his swimming has resoted to staying at the bottom and is breathing heavy. My clowns are perfectly fine and so are my corals. Water parameters are all spot on too. I'm...

I just bought a fire fish Sunday from my lfs. I also got a sand sifting sea star the same day. My tank is a mix of corals and fish... I also have a fire shrimp. Today is Wednesday and he did hide a lot in a cave since I got him, but when he came out he was swimming around fine and coming out and...

Hi I’ve had a 20 gallon aquarium with a fire fish and a clown fish for 5 weeks. After a few weeks, we noticed white spots on the clown fish so we decided to treat the tank and the fish for ich. We took the fish to a 30L QT with 0,25 ppm copper in It and ramped it up to 0,5 ppm a day after. Since...

So my first fish has settled in nicely was going to go for two clowns but someone beat me to them so I came away with this beauty and honestly I'm so happy, he's super enquizitive and loves swimming to the glass no name as of yet, open to suggestions

I have a bare bottom 140 gallon tank, 48.5”x24.5”x29.5”. I have been cycling for a month, and parameters have stabilized. I think we are almost ready to start slowly stocking. This is eventually going to be a sps dominant reef tanks, so everything needs to be reef-safe. What are the thoughts...
