The Helfrichi Firefish is a beautiful and rare reef dweller that immediately stands out for its elegant body shape and unique colors.

It's a peaceful, tranquil species that's ideal for a reef aquarium with plenty of hiding places and a stable environment. The Helfrichi Firefish is most comfortable in a pair or small group, provided the aquarium is large enough.
