I’ve seen it mentioned, but nothing about why, or what to do! My little guy seems as healthy as ever, but his lights seem to be almost out. They REFLECT light pretty well, which I can tell cause he leaves them uncovered a lot now, at least around feeding time, but Ive recently noticed how dim they’ve been getting, and now possibly out. It’s in my QT tank still, and I’ve never introduced any medications since the tank was set up for him, but I’m sure there’s residual copper in the rocks and everything. I didn’t think of copper as a big anti-bacterial agent! Is it? His lights didn’t start diminishing for many weeks.

Does anyone have any experience with flashlight fish care? I’m especially interested in treatments. Bioluminescent things like flashlights and pinecone fish can’t take many normal meds, so I’d like to find out any info that could help in those circumstance. These are also both delicate fish, so that also makes the med situation more difficult. I’m not aware of ANY meds that pinecones can safely take. Of course nothing antibacterial. I’ve heard it’s a good idea to treat all new flashlight fish with prazipro, so I guess flashlights can handle that, but that’s the extent of my knowledge on the subject.

Does anyone know if it's ok to use red light to view pinecone/flashlight/nocturnal fish? I feel like Iv seen something in the past that said unlike most animals, the red light thing doesn't work for/isn't good for at least for pinecones and flashlights. I know it works for deepwater fish, so maybe I'm wrong, but i can't find that info, or similar information now. I'd really like to find out to watch to see if it's eating after dark. Pinecones give off red light as they age, so searching for pinecone fish and "red light"/"red" brings up almost every article ever written about them lol

I'm getting (a) pinecone fish and soon flashlight fish, and I really want to know if it's safe to put cleaner shrimp I. With them. I'm sure it's fine while they're small, but both aren't your standard reef fish. Even though they live in reefs, I don't know if cleaner shrimp are out and working at night, and if not, those fish might not be familiar with their work, so I'm worried about when they get big enough to make a meal of a shrimp.
