You shouldn't pay more than $140. They are readily available for $140 or less.
Do you guys actually like them better than the Purple or Red Firefish? I like the Purple Firefire the best. I don't understand the hype with the Helfrich's Firefish...is it just because they are expensive? They definitely aren't hard to come by. Last edited by Myka; 11-06-2009 at 01:48 AM.

I think the purples are actually nicer and much cheaper too. J&L always has the purples in stock it seems...quite often anyways.

Purples are nicer IMO, though they are reputed to be the most aggressive of the 3 species. Mine splits a fin on the Hector's Goby every so often, but no lasting damage (and he doesn't give chase). I don't think I would pay the money they want for the Helfrich's, even if I could afford it... though I understand if you get the Purple Firefish, you need to get a known pair to keep more than one?
From what I can gather, the other 2 species can be kept in groups, perhaps that's why these command a higher price (better disposition toward conspecifics)? I know the Purples are collected at a relative depth, it's likely that the Helfrich's is collected even deeper and require decompression on the way up (driving prices up due to longer dive times and higher mortality rates).
