The **Purple Firefish** is a visually striking and vibrant species of firefish. These fish exhibit a predominantly yellow body with a vivid purple hue extending from their head to their fins.

Reaching up to 3 inches in length, **Purple Firefish** require a minimum tank size of 10 gallons. They are known for their peaceful nature, making them ideal for reef aquariums as they coexist harmoniously with other fish, corals, and invertebrates. However, they may show aggression towards other firefish in smaller tanks. It's advisable not to house them with larger, more aggressive species due to their limited defensive capabilities.

Ensure your tank has a secure lid without any gaps, as **Purple Firefish** are prone to jumping when startled. Providing ample live rock will offer them hiding spots and opportunities to forage for food, promoting their well-being.

As carnivores, **Purple Firefish** thrive on a diet rich in meaty foods. Due to their small size, they benefit from foods suitable for smaller mouths, such as mysis and brine shrimp, along with high-quality frozen options.
