Firefish death

[Sirsmiley9]

firefish died today while I was at school. I hadn't fed recently due to trying to lower the amount of food so my algea problem would go away but Early the fish was lying on the sand but when I disturbed it got up and swam around so I figured it was sleeping the other fish in the tank is doing fine

Have you tested your water recently? How long has the fish been in the tank? Firefish get stressed out really easily and don't do all that well moving from one place to another.

It's been in the tank for 2 weeks and is in their with a peaceful cleaner shrimp and a yellow head jawfish which doesn't other it. I recently moved the rocks and a recent water test said the parameters hadn't changed I am going to try to go up to the store and get a water test the only other new thing was two new coral a zoa and a Yuma but nothing else

I've had about three regular firefish and each one didn't last long. The first two just died mysteriously after living in the tank for a week (I got them separately too). The third one lasted around two weeks and then tried to jump out of my tank during a feeding. It hit the screen mesh and bounced back into the water but I guess the stress of the whole ordeal was too much for it. They just aren't all that sturdy and such. I wish I could offer better advice, but I think they're just a really fragile fish.
