purple firefish will come out more when he gets more used to stuff.. they are very very pretty.. do me a favor though, do not add another one as they will fight all the time and one will be killed. this happened twice to me, than i learned...lol..my regular red firefish gets along with him but they still fight here and there but not as much as the same color ones, its wierd..

that is normal for there fins to be like that... as long as he added the purple firefish at the same time, they should not fight. they look very normal and healthy IMO.

eventually you'll see fighting. you'll see, and if not, you got really really lucky. just giving you heads up.

Mattamar,
You said in one post you have a 48" coralife fixture? Is that the one with 2 actinics and 2 10,000k daylight (total 260 watt)? If so I have the same one. Is it a good enough light for the BTA?
Thanks,
nick

I have a purple and a red firefish for 6 months now, no problems at all, in fact they usually hang together. but i have a 125 gal. too, so it may make a difference? Love those fish too!!

Yes I have the same light fixture(total 260w). Bta will do fine with this, and if you need more proof than just my word, look up schadiest1 past posts. He also has a BTA under a coralife fixture and it is doing well. The thing to remember if you purchase one is to let him go where he wants to in the tank dont force it to stay in the spot you want. The bta will position himself in your tank to the spot that lets him get the amount of light he needs. Just a warning for you If you have corals keep an eye on him so he doesnt burn any of them, and if you get one you only have to feed it once a week.
