火鱼es make great aquarium specimens and are wildly popular, be it the lower end maginificent firefish (Nemateleotris magnifica), or the higher ended helfrichi firefish (Nemateleotris helfrichi). Firefishes fall into the category of “factory made” fishes where every single piece looks almost identical from each other. If you recall the post we did earlier on the insane aberrantpink-spot firefish,你知道异常eldom encountered in this group of aquarium staples.
However being very closely related to each other, the firefishes are bound to hybridize in the wild where their range overlaps. Especially forN. magnifica和N. decora。上面的图片是两者的杂种，结果是两种物种的微妙融合。看到这些杂种与它们的血统纯血液对应物配对是非常不寻常和酷的。
据我们了解，N. decora和N. magnificaseldom, it not never mix around with each other and prefer the company of their own kind. Normal or not you’ve got to love these little fish. Especially the cook islands form to the closely relatedN. helfrichi.Who doesn’t love the helfrichi firefish? Especially the pink headedcook island variants!
