This week's match up is the

Helfrichi Firefish





VS


the Fathead Sunburst Anthias







I'm honestly torn between the two. Both are beautiful fish. One harder to keep because they like to jump and the other just hard to keep in general..
Not sure how I'm voting yet...



Who do you think will win this face off and why?

The Helfrichi almost got my vote but I have never had much success with firefish. I really want a school of Anthias in my tank someday!

I gotta go with the anthias. The fire fish is just too over priced & not justified. The cheaper ones are 12.99 or better, & just as colorful. The Anthias are at least a little exquisite.

I voted on the anthias purely on aesthetics. I used to love (and want) a helfrichi, but the fathead is more more beautiful in my eyes.

This is a tough one. I have both of these fish and like them equally. However if push comes to shove, it would be the Helfrichi. For some reason, I have always been intrigued by the Helfrichi.

Well they're both beautiful, I'd have to choose the Firefish over the Anthias. Why, although I've not owned either, I think it has a touch more personality IMO.

Helfrichi Firefish, love the way they look and they can go in my tank. Their downfall is that they are expert jumpers.

I have open tank so i've never had the pleasure of a Firefish. But i did have a Fathead. He was large and beautiful. Seemed like i would see a different shade of color every time he darted behind the rocks. Was very shy and one night i noticed he didnt come out to eat. Within 12 hrs he was dead with white film on him. Bummer :sad:
