Purple fire fish

Also known as the Purple (Elegant) Firefish, Nemateleotris decora is a reef-safe, peaceful nano showpiece with a lavender-to-violet dorsal, pearly body, and high-streaming dorsal fin. Reaching ~3", it hovers gracefully in the water column and darts to a rock crevice when startled—provide plenty of bolt-holes and a tight-fitting lid (expert jumper!). Ideal for mixed reefs; won’t bother corals or clams. Keep singly or as a bonded pair in larger tanks; avoid keeping with aggressive wrasses or dottybacks. Moderate flow, stable parameters, and low–moderate light suit them well. Offer small meaty foods—mysis, copepods, calanus, enriched brine, and quality micro-pellets—1–2x daily to keep colors vivid and body weight steady. Our expert-raised firefish are conditioned to prepared foods and ship via UPS Next Day Air® from Discover Aquatics in Taylor Mill, KY—proudly serving Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Indiana.
