Jan 11, 2009 · I recently put a firefish goby and a false percula clown in my tank the other day (first 2 fish). The clown is EXTREMELY active but I think he has scared the goby into hiding under (100 lb) of rock. The clown is not attacking him just swimming like crazy all over the place. I'm trying to think of ways to get him out of hiding so that he can eat.

Aug 11, 2005 · The Firefish Goby prefers a tank of at least 20 gallons with plenty of places to hide & swim. The Firefish Goby is a planktivore and likes to eat mysid shrimp, amphipods, copepods and seafood based foods. The Firefish Goby is a low maintenance fish and will co exist with other reef type fish. This is a hardy fish. Reef-safe.

Jul 13, 2018 · I’ve got a purple and red firefish and their tankmates are a tailspot blenny, a clown, and a cherub angelfish. I suspect the angelfish likes nipping the red firefish’s tail, but it doesn’t affect the firefish’s behavior in any way.

I just got a new firefish tonight (1 week since the tank swap) .. but this one is a purple firefish.

Nov 5, 2017 · I have a yellow watchman goby and an orange firefish in my 14 gallon. I actually had a different experience and maybe it is a one off. I am not sure also if my pistol shrimp played a part but my firefish decided to hide in my watchman goby’s borrow which in turn the goby became aggressive towards the fire and eventually killed it.

Mar 19, 2008 · I have to disagree with firefish being aggressive, my cousin has regular and purple firefish in the same tank. They were added at separate times too, and its only a 75g tank. It looks kind of cool, firefish are a fish that like to be in numbers. When you see them in the wild you dont see them in pairs you see them in groups.

Nov 7, 2008 · We have a yellow watchman goby and two clowns in our 30 gallon tank. I'm wondering if it is possible to add a purple firefish to this mix without causing problems with the yellow watchman given the fact that they are both species of gobies. Our little yellow guy is …

Sep 22, 2009 · The firefish gets shy when anything is introduced to the tank and she sort of reminds me of a puppy twirling around and then darting into her little hole. The yellow clown goby is great bc he is always out and visible even though he …
