Helfrichi Firefish
Nemateleotris helfrichi
Origin: Indo-Pacific – Fiji, Tonga, and Vanuatu
Size: Up to 8 cm
Reef Compatibility:
Diet: Carnivore – feeds on zooplankton; accepts frozen mysis, brine shrimp, and finely chopped seafood.
Care Level: Moderate – requires a peaceful tank with plenty of hiding spots.
Aggression: Peaceful – may establish small territories but rarely aggressive.
Captive-Bred Available: ✅ Yes
Notes:
The Helfrichi Firefish is a vibrant, mid-water dweller with an elongated purple and orange body. It prefers a well-established reef with caves or rock crevices to retreat into when startled. A tight-fitting lid is recommended, as it is prone to jumping.
Why We Like It:
Elegant, colourful, and active, the Helfrichi Firefish adds constant movement and eye-catching vibrancy to the upper levels of a reef tank. Its peaceful temperament makes it a favourite for both beginner and experienced aquarists.
