Firefish are really pretty fish! I have never owned any, but I have always admired them from afar!

[copperband]

yea i really like both of those fish they are so cool

[copperband]

yes i really like firefish and purple firefish

[chapel210]

I had 2 firefish, and 2 purple firefish, very pretty looking fish. All of them were eaten by a crab that snuck in on my live rock :(

i really like the fish Misti listed im planning a fathead anthias and possibly a blue spot sharp nose puffer what do you think. also Misti where did you find info on the blue spot sharp nose puffer and i think it would be cool to have a small school of royal gramma's these are only a few fish i would like to keep in the future tank

Canthigaster epilamprus
max size 4"
usually will not harm corals, may eat motile inverts (stars, cleaner shrimp) but should leave them alone if well fed.
feed them mysis, chopped krill, supplement feeding with frozen herbivore preparations (H2O life's #2 is good- like formula 2 without the gelatin) also give him a couple of clams on the halfshell a couple times a week to keep his teeth from growing into his jaw.
This is info from my website- what I've gathered from various books and experiences of friends and customers as i haven't kept one- yet.

wow you know alot i do have a cleaner shrimp but im planning on possibly making my own food because i can make more of it at a time and i will post some pics of some of my corals fish inverts for your website soon

[MissT]

I keep learning every day, and I'm passionate about what I do! Good luck with getting everything for your tank figured out. There are plenty of people here to help, and a LOT of them know way more than me!!!

[copperband]

thats what i love about this website everyone knows something about something

[copperband]

oh i just thought about something wut about a yasha hase goby and yellow and green clown goby im still thinking of other fish i like dart fish watchmans especiall y yellow watchmans i have to keep one

[MissT]

you'd probably rarely see the yasha hase or the clown gobies (although there are those that are regularly out in the open) but they'd do fine in a well established tank.

[copperband]

ok the ones i saw at the fish store i usually go to the clown gobies were out in the open but i cant wait to see River City Aquatics
