Sorry I don't know enough about them to give you ant advice on how to save them
wish I could help! I lost a fire fish last nite
don't know what happened, but when I looked in the tank he was behind a rock being consumed by a snail
I tryind to get the snail off of him but it was too late, and I couldnt reach him behind the rock! after the snail got off him I noticed he was still in tact so I really dont know what the hell happened
I watched as the pepperment shrimp and a few of the smaller snails finnished him off. I hate when things happen and you dont know the cause!!! He was eating ok and seemed to look just find all day, his body was close to the little "burrow" I found another crab in but I never saw a crab when they were all eating him, and Like I said I don't know for sure that the new crab is a Gorilla or not. Bad news....dead fish good news....NEW FISH!!! and yey I have been spending wayyyyyyy to much money on the tank latley, oo well who needs food anyway
OH NO!!~ Sorry to hear about your firefish!
I had a beautiful purple firefish about a year ago; got him on a Friday, came into work on that Monday and there was no trace of him anywhere. Never found out what happened to it. Sometimes things just happen and we'll never know unless they started to exhibit signs of being sick beforehand. I hate when they just up and die!
