Look around the floor and in the overflow. These fish are great jumpers!

They are also shy. That's why I don't like them.

[stonefish]

Firefish r usually shy n they dun survive well if kept alone.IMO,it is better to keep them in a group.

HEE.....dun trust a lion in the tank.....

[ReDDeviLs]

yea u nv know if they chew it during nite time

[seamonkee]

lionfish can open their mouth very wide and known even to swallow a fish its size...

[flubberina13]

Ever heard a 'true files' story of an anglerfish less than a palm size swallowing a volitan bigger than it?

I would guess that your firefish got bullied to death by the dottyback. I simply don't trust dottybacks anymore.

You will need to buy alot of firefish to keep them in a group. You will also need to have a big tank to break out any aggression. I have bought a group of 3 before. 1 of them murdered the other 2 slowly...even though the tank was 4 ft.
