Anyone keep the Purple Tilefish for long? Are they okay with Firefish?

Any tips or stories (good or bad)? they sure look like major jumpers.

Should I presume they should not be combined with firefish? (Similar body shape?)

They are really good jumpers. I never want to deal with purple tilefish jerky again:(

I have one. I would suggest that they would not do well with firefish who can be easily intimidated. You can, however, keep them with their own kind.

I had one a long time ago. Cool looking fish but very shy and it did eventually jump out.

Yes, they are indeed excellent jumpers.
