Default Pregnant Firefish!

Pic's aren't the greatest but it's still obvious she's pregnant

This looks like a male IMO. It is most likely a bloat from a parasite or feeding. Sorry to be a downer :P

Definitely possible, firefish are known to be capable of mating in the home aquarium! Pretty cool IMO...... free fish/ coral food You have had your pair for quite a while now haven't you miz?

Also, they are egg layers so if it is infact a she and pregnant keep an eye out

Some ay they are pelagic spawners, but the most current info I have says that they'll make a depression or "nest: in the substrate.

I missed her at dinner time tonight so I'll check again on her tomorrow-I'm sort of thinking bloat too

@TPF-what makes you think it's a male? Please share
