Fire fish light

[Josephrandle]

My fire fish has been shy for a while and only comes out when feeding. However every time I turn on my blue aquarium lights it always comes out. Would you recommend keeping it on?

if it's not broken, why fix it? how long have you had the fire fish? perhaps it is still getting acquainted with its new surroindings.

Had him for about 2-3 weeks

he’s usually in little crevices and never comes out but now he chills in the shade and comes out and swims around

firefish are generally very shy. give it another week. but if the blue light is working, i say to keep it but to slowly add white into the spectrum as to make it more viewable by you and your guests.

i would provide more hiding areas. this will increase confidence.

They are generally very timid. Every little thing scares them - aggressive tank mates, too bright light, too much flow, my face sticking to the glass...

Mine hasn't come out for months except feeding time and when its dark.

What would you recommend ? Should I buy more live rock, decoration, live plants?

more live rock. decorations would be corals, but your tank is clearly too new for corals at the moment.
