Dartfish
For Marine Aquariums

Dartfish are among the reef's most graceful hoverers — and genuinely its most notorious escape artists. Species like the Fire and Purple Firefish spend their time suspended in the water column near a shared burrow, diving tail-first at the slightest disturbance, and are famous for leaping clean out of an open aquarium when startled. A tight-fitting lid is genuinely essential with this group. With colors ranging from the Fire Dartfish's fiery orange-to-purple gradient to the striking two-tone Zebra Dartfish, our collection offers a peaceful, characterful addition to any established reef tank. At Fisheee Aquarium Store Phuket Thailand, we specialize in healthy, well-acclimated Dartfish. #FishShopPhuketThailand

Our Dartfish Collection

Popular species include the Fire Dartfish (Nemateleotris magnifica), the classic and most widely kept species with its fiery orange-to-purple gradient; the Purple Firefish (Nemateleotris decora), prized for its violet and yellow coloration; the rare Helfrich's Firefish (Nemateleotris helfrichi), a genuine deep-water specialist; and the striking Zebra Dartfish (Ptereleotris zebra). All Dartfish are professionally acclimated and conditioned to accept prepared foods.
