Goby and Firefish..Is it possible? - Aquarium Advice

MommaFishels · 01-26-2008, 11:31 PM

I have a Orange diamond watchman Goby and I am interested in getting a firefish. Since both are goby's, is this possible? I know Goby's can be territorial. Any advice would be appreciated.

Sure...I have a yellow watchman goby and a purple firefish. They do just fine together. They each inhabbit different portions of the tank. The watchman tends to stay toward/in the substrate while the firefish mainly hovers out in the open, mid tank.

I agree that there is no reason why they should not get along.

Thank you! I was hoping you both would say that! I am looking at the Helfrichi so that should be interesting!
