Never heard of tank bread Fire Fish. Very hard fish to sex for one thing.
Most peps will breed fishes that can be sexed visually. Otherwise it's hit & miss. Which leads to casualties most often.

So I would say, No. They are not a good fish to start with.

I agree.
If you want to start this part of the hobby, try Banggai Cardinals.
Look around and see if you can find some tank bred ones and go from there.
They have to be one of the easiest ones and a great one to get your feet wet.
