Firefish

[yellow ace]

Hi.
I own a 46-gallon bow front with 2 firefish in it. I bought them this summer and they have been doing well since. One of them has started to grow, but the other isn't. They always swim around together and are almost never apart. Is this breeding behavior, or do they just like to be together naturally (by nature)?

I dont think you can tell the --- of them w/o cutting. Not sure.
Juvies will hang together until one estsblishes dominance unless they do pair up but a 46 g. is big enough for them to seperate if needed. If they breed I think they will lay eggs inside their hole so you really want know. When muture they will not school. Be careful with adding other fish cause firefish do get pestered by many kinds. This is all from a quick search so take it as is.
