The Red Firefish has a body that fades from pale yellow at the head to orange and then red near the rear of the fish. The fins are yellow, fading to red and the first dorsal ray is extended. Red Firefish need plenty of rockwork to hide in and feel comfortable. They are peaceful toward other fish but may become territorial if they are crowded in small aquariums (particularly with members of their own species). Red Firefish are ideal for reef aquariums. They do best on a diet of live foods like plankton and small crustaceans but will also eat small meaty frozen foods. Like other Gobies, the Red Firefish is skittish and easily frightened. A tight-fitting lid is recommended to keep the goby from jumping out of the aquarium. This is a Restricted item and is not covered by our Arrive Alive 5 Day Guarantee.

The Elephant Nose is an interesting fish with a long appendage on its snout below the mouth that looks like an elephant’s trunk. Its body is gray to black with a slender forked tail. The Elephant Nose is a nocturnal fish, hunting and feeding mostly at night. It uses its long snout to help it find worms, insects, larvae, and small crustaceans in the substrate. It is important to provide smooth-sided gravel or fine sand so that it does not injure itself when looking for food in this way. Elephant Noses will accept most small live foods, but can usually be trained to eat frozen foods and sometimes, sinking pellets. The Elephant Nose is able to produce a weak electric discharge that it uses in courtship and in locating prey. This fish is relatively peaceful toward other fish of similar size, but is territorial and aggressive with its own kind. For this reason they are best kept one per tank unless the aquarium is very large, about 200 gallons or more. Provide a heavily planted tank with soft, acidic water and subdued lighting. This provides natural hiding places and will help minimize stress. Elephant noses are sensitive fish, and are easily stressed by poor water quality. Frequent water changes are a must to keep this fish healthy. Use caution if it becomes necessary to add medications or other harsh chemicals to the tank as many of these products are harmful or fatal to the elephant nose. If using medications, read the instructions carefully to be sure that the product is safe for scale-less fish. It may be necessary to use a mild medication or use a product at half-strength.

Lubbock’s Fairy Wrasse is a small brightly colored fairy wrasse. Males have 2 dark burgundy horizontal marks on their orange/pink flanks. Females are pink with some yellow coloration. They are peaceful toward other fish, but will not tolerate other Lubbock’s Wrasses unless they are a mated pair. Lubbock’s Wrasses need plenty of hiding places to feel comfortable and should not be kept with large or aggressive fish. They are safe with invertebrates and make good reef tank inhabitants. In the wild, they feed on plankton but they will accept most small frozen foods in captivity.
