    I picked up a purple firefish friday and he was hiding all the way til tonight, I spot fed him some blood worms and he ate so I am happy. Really cool little fish, I have a picture but it sucks cause I took it in the dark.

    Heres the pic

    They are beautiful fish, but they are jumpers. So if you have a open top aquarium, then you may want to put something over it. I found out the hard way

    Thanks for all the compliments! :) I have eggcrate over my entire tank, there arent any gaps. I think if he tried to jump he maybe could make it through but won't the eggcrate discourage him from trying?

    i dont think it will discourage it but it will definitely reduce the space by which it can jump... so there is more of a change he will hit the egg crate and fall back down. as opposed to no eggcrate.. but i could be wrong.:p
