This is the first fish that will go into my 75 gallon reef tank. It's in my 20H quarantine tank, now. My question is:Why are these considered harder than regular firefish, and if anyone has had trouble with them, in the past? I've read in a couple places that these are harder than the avereage firefish, but they were kind of sketchy on the details. So far, it's survived even my inept care. It's eating, and has been bold enough to come out in the open. Any hints or special care notes would be appreciated. Thanks!
Finally, a fish! Purple firefish, in quar.

Snails, Guppies and Corys, OH MY!!!
I didn't have any problems with them eating, as they ate frozen mysis quite well for me. My problem was being able to successfully contain them. Eggcrate didn't work, and when I put a glass top on the tank, one actually hit the glass top so hard it must have cracked his skull or severely injured its spine, as it died within a half hour of slamming into the glass top. Of course, this was before the netting / mesh tops started showing up on a lot of the forums as DIY projects, and I certainly didn't think of trying it on my own. If I ever try having them again, I'll definitely be building a mesh top for my tank.
Thanks for the congrats. I didn't know they were such accomplished jumpers. I'll have to keep an eye on that.
