hey so I have a 20 gallon tank with soon to be 20 lbs of live rock but js 10 for now. I really love firefish and it’s more than likely gonna be my next fish. How many should I get for a 20 gallon tank? I know you don’t wanna get a odd number but I feel like 4 is too much
 
I only had one fire fish in my 20g, and personally, I would only have one in there. What is your current stocking of fish?
 
20 gallon with 20 lbs of rock is more like 16 gallons of water. I also would add only one in that size tank, but depends what else is in the tank?
 
We had 2 that we got together. They stayed together and slept in the same small cave . One started growing more than the other and started picking on the smaller fish . The smaller one now lives in a different tank.
 
You can do three but you limit yourself in future additions.
