The Helfrich Firefish (Nemateleotris helfrichi) is sometimes called a Helfrich's Dartfish. It belongs to the family named Gobiidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 4.0 inches in length, the Helfrich Firefish is passive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is good after pairing up and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Nemateleotris helfrichi should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places and a stable cave/sheltering ledge.
