    Thanks DSC, I only have about 15lbs of rock. I know its a little over stocked, but I like that for some reason. I would like one more fish that all..... Truthfully I will more than likely get rid of my chromis. And I do have egg crate over the top. uploadfromtaptalk1451679030773.jpg

    That's a nice setup. I think firefish are so underated, there beautiful fish. With egg crate I'd give a go.

    Geometric pygmy Perchlet(Plectranthias Sp.) These are great nano fish. I have had them several
    times. They are somewhat cryptic and shy but their green eyes are really cool. They also have the ability to change color from pink to a stunning red. I could never get them to eat anything but live brine or mysis shrimp but they will definitely hunt pods. No flake food or pellets will do as they simply ignore it. Great fish.☺

    They only eat it live? I have pods but maybe not enough for them...?

    They will eat frozen mysis but its better to start them on live brine. Your tank is too small to produce enough pods for them.

    Purple firefish is a beauty and has a really nice personality. Never had mine jump but I had a reg firefish jump so often the final jump was its last.
