Hello, I just introduced 2 Firefish yesterday and after hiding yesterday one of them has been out most of the day today and eating and acting normal, however, the other one hid and hasn't been seen. What do you all think?

I wouldn't be concerned about it, fish may hide for the first day or two, it takes a few days for fish to get into a new routine. Be happy that one is out at least, but I don't think its an indicator of any kind for the hiding fish (yet)

They hide all the time I have 8 in my tank and they constantly hide. I sometimes think oh well lost one and then suddenly they will all appear. Also firefish jump so make sure you keep the top closed.

I have one Exquisite who's kind of my center piece fish. He (assuming he is a he), is out and about most of the day. Fish have their own little individual unique quirks.
