Firefish
Dartfish are an excellent addition to reef aquariums as they have a small adult size and a lot of personality. For the hobbyist looking for a very active, hardy and brightly colored fish, then look no farther than the Firefish. They are known to jump when startled, so be sure to house them in a covered aquarium. This small fish of 3" is full of personality and will make a great addition to smaller aquariums down to 30 gallons or so. Use caution if adding more than one, unless it is a very large aquarium. They will pick at algae within the aquarium, but that cannot be considered their diet. Provide them a mix of meaty foods, and they will generally will accept pelletized food after a few days. They can be territorial to other dartfish and bottom dwellers. They have a yellow head that turns to white then to red towards their caudal tail. This firefish has a vibrant line of purple on its head.
