Exquisite Firefish

The Exquisite Firefish (Nemateleotris exquisita) is frequently found in small schools among the reefs of the Indo-Pacific Ocean. They have a golden-yellow body with purple and red fins, creating a beautiful display of contrasting colors. Reaching a maximum size of 3 inches, they should be housed in an aquarium with fish of similar size and temperament, and do well in schools of 3-5. They are known to jump, so tight lids are recommended. Their diet should consist of carnivorous preparations, such as krill or mysis.
