I have a 29g biocube and just today I noticed baby fish swimming around inside my live rock that the firefish always hides in.
keep in mind I only have one firefish so no mate , I also have 2 clowns and a royal gamma. Reason I think its the fire fish is because its akways in that rock . Any info would be helpful as of now I can't id the fish cuz they are tiny and run from light.

i freaked the first time I thought I had fish fry, but I bet if you look very closly they're probably tiny shrimp. Probably mysids or one of the others that can breen in our tanks. Pepermints release their babies from the eggs all at once and many of them hang around for a while though I think they are pelagic for part of their life and probably won't survive to adulthood. Maybe even emerald crabs, but I don't know their life stages. They are probably where the firefish is because it's a good place to hide and he might be the only one that won't eat them. It would be cool if it's baby fish, but you've got something biblical going on if it is. LOL. Try to grap one in a pipette or an airline siphon to get a better look. They'll probably look more like this:

The clowns been together for about 4 to 5 months could be them, reason I said fire fish cuz I only see them in the rock where the firefish hides. And they look like fish but il try to get closer look or even a vid, when I flsh the light on them they got a glow on the forhead.
