Helfrichi firefish

[zmattie]

Do helfrichis do well with each other long term? For instance, 4-5 in one tank?
Thanks,

How big is the tank? In general firefish do not do well in groups unless they are in mated pairs.

Tank is a 40 gal breeder. Any other reccomendations for grouping fish? Ive seen trios of zebra dartfish for sale but dont really like the coloring and cannot find a site that sells pairs of helfrichis. Any reccomdenations would be great!

Divers Den occasionally has pairs. Sign up for the sneak peak to better your chance at getting them.

+1 Agree

helfrichi will do fine in groups.... but keep in mind they need to feel like they have to school, ie a few bigger fish to spook them a little bit. i have kept 5 in a 180 with no problems.
