I was wondering what kind of fish would be a good tank mate for a firefish, I have him in a 14 gallon nano.

I do not have an answer but I am curious about a firefish for my 12 gallon nano once I trade in my clown. The tank has a full hood so if he gets jumpy he can only go into the back filters.

Is he skittish? Does he hang out in the open water column or stay near the bottom? His only fishmate would be an Orchid Dotty.

My firefish stays close to the bottom and lives under a rock. He has been with all sorts of fish and is very skittish so nobody really bothers with him. He also was fine with false percula clownfish as well. I don't see my firefish much since he is in a 260g, but he comes out to feed and such. You would enjoy him much more in your tank. At least you would see him.

Hmm, My Orchid Dotty rules the underworld. I need an open colunm fish that is not a clown.

My firefish is fine, he swims around all the time. ALthough he kinda has a clownfish phobia becasue he was abused by a pair of juvenile Clarkii's for a while (nasty little fish).
