Purple Firefish

(Nemateleotris decora)  likes to swim against the current and catches its food this way, prolific jumpers, resistant to diseases, with a very peaceful behavior (except in the company of the same breed). Parents care for the eggs until they reach juvenile age. This species is often found in pairs and is monogamous, an isolated individual has a much lower life expectancy than individuals living in groups.

The costume is made of plastic waste and synthetic textiles, which decompose in nature, eliminating harmful substances in: textile materials: 1 year; plastic bags: 20 years; cans: 50 years; plastic glasses: 100 years; doses of soft drinks and beer: 200 years; pets: 300 years.
