Can I mix a pair of each of the following fishes in the same 180L tank

1. A pair of Helfrichi Firefishes

2. A pair of Purple Firefishes

3. A pair of Red Firefishes.

Any reefers have any experience mixing the 6 above fishes in their tanks?

I can add them all at once simultaneously too if that is the solution. And I can add them as the first occupants in my new tank.

Well, I have added 6 reds at a go, but they disappeared one after another. That was in my 6-footer FOWLR. So I cannot conclude if they were killed by more aggressive and much bigger tank mates, by the stupid red lobster I bought on impulse which shared the same vicinity cave. or they killed one another.

I'm currently keeping a pair of helfrichis in a betta box, ready to unleash them first in the new tank once cycling is complete.

Just wondering if I can add 2 more pairs of the red & purple..

Anyone with this experience?

currently i have a pair of red and a pair of purple in my 4 footer for more than 2 months. no money for item 1 u mentioned.

In fact, they had been with me for more than 1 year.

Moved from my old tank when i move house.

My take is that they need to be housed in tank where no fishes is aggressive to them so that they can swim out freely to feed.

Good luck in your venture!
