Nice peaceful fish. They have this thing called chin barb that goes down. They like to burrow in the sand. I had 5 of them but my purple firefish didn't come out much. So I took the 4 out and left the wimpy one and now my firefish comes out. They eat a lot and poop a lot lol.

Are you getting one and what type of fish will you house with it?

CoralNerd....Im thinking about getting a few but am also afraid that it will scare firefish. Are the active swimmer or do the tend to hide and/or stay still. I dont think ill having any problems with my other fish...Clowns, goby, wrasse, foxface...

The foxface may scare the firefish due to size but if you already have it and the firefish is coming out the Zebra should also. The dartfish come out as long as they are not getting punked and or intimated by active big fish like tangs. If you get the Zebras get them small and I think you will have much better luck with your firefish. The Zebras have s similar swim patern as the firefish. I have a lot of current at the top of my tank otherwise I think the Zebra would stay higher.
