Default Firefish
Just a quick question: will purple and regular firefish get along because my pseudochromis has been picking on my firefish lately and i want to get him a friend.

they should be fine, however, your pseudochromis will just pick on them both...

I disagree...two red Firefish would be more likely to get along, but depends on the size of the tank. How big is your tank? The purple Firefish are much more aggressive towards any other firefish.

its a 35g soon to be an 80 though but im worrieed about my firefish because i got the pseudo about a month ago and theyve been fine and then two days ago the pseudo spooked firefish and he tried to jump then hid, five minutees later he came out and got chased right back under a rock and hasnt come out since. I am quite worried because firefish is my favorite fish and i wouldnt like to see him go.

Get a Damsel to bully the Chromis back then a Sohal Tang to take care of the Damsel, finally end with a Shark... by that time the firefish would be so small compared to the Shark that he won't even bother him.

Dude that's just mean. I'm sure you meant it as a joke, but it really sucks when a fish jumps and pointing it out like that is just a harsh reminder.

pseudochromis is known to be a bad mofo. Get rid of him ha ha! Then get another firefish.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
