Some information about the Firefish Goby from my views and some from the internet.
Scientific name: (Nemateleotris magnifica)
Minimum tank size: 10 Gallon tank is what is recommended online. I would say go 10 gallons for these unless you get a group of them, then you would need a larger tank.
Food: Mine eat any food that sinks. Pellets & frozen. I have not seen them come to the top for food.
Care/Compatibility: Easy. I have read that multiples will fight unless they are a mated pair. I have not seen or experienced this. I have two of these in a 55 gallon and they stay close to each other. Ocassionally they will chase the Purple Firefish Goby (Nemateleotris decora).
Reef Safe: Completely reef safe.
Other: They are jumpers! Make sure you have a good fitting lid. They stay closer to the middle and top of the tank.
Picture: I will post pictures later.
