Purple Firefish
Nemateleotris decora
Origin: Indo-Pacific – Indonesia, Philippines, Papua New Guinea
Size: Up to 8 cm
Reef Compatibility:
Diet: Carnivore – feeds on small 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 Purple Firefish is an elegant, mid-water dweller with a striking purple head and body that fades to white towards the tail. It prefers a well-established reef with caves or rock crevices to retreat into when startled. A tight-fitting lid is recommended, as it can jump.
Why We Like It:
Active, colourful, and peaceful, the Purple Firefish adds constant movement and vibrant colour to the upper levels of a reef tank, making it a favourite for both beginner and experienced aquarists.
