Helfrichi Firefish

Other tidbits: Can grow up to 6cm or so. Distributed throughout the Pacific Ocean.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, fish-only system, or reef aquarium.
Aquarium set-up: Deck out your tank with loads of loose coral rubble for a cool, natural vibe, and make sure to slap on a snug lid to keep your fish from making a splashy escape! They’re a bit shy and love to have plenty of cozy hideouts to retreat. Maintain an aquatic utopia by nailing the basics: rock-solid water quality with top-notch filtration and routine partial water changes.
Feeding: It loves to snack on tasty morsels drifting in the water but will also peck at goodies on the substrate. Feed it a mix of chopped or shaved seafood, vitamin-packed brine shrimp, and juicy mysis shrimp for a top-notch diet!
AQT note: All our fish feast on a diet of seaweed, marine pellets, flakes and frozen treats under our care. Keep the feast going in your tank!
