More Details

The Firefish Goby, Nemateleotris magnifica, features a yellow head and a body that radiates from white to red and a characteristic elongated first ray on the forward dorsal fin. They are very peaceful and can be housed with other peaceful fish in a reef tank setting, but may become territorial towards gobies in smaller tanks.

Gobies tend to stay mainly towards the bottom of the tank, burrowing and sifting through the sand. However, this goby is also a known jumper, so a tight fitting lid is suggested. Diet should include a variety of frozen or live mysis shrimp and vitamin enriched brine shrimp 1-2 times daily.

Firefish were very pretty and healthy looking. Ordered 4 but only have one left. This one is eating well.

A very pretty and friendly fish. He is much more visible in my tank than I thought he'd be, swimming around with his tank mates!

I ordered 2 which was a mistake for a 37gal cube. They started fighting after an hour in the tank. Next morning 1 was missing and the other showed no signs of damage. Both fish were healthy and beautiful.

Shipped fast. Acclimated for 30 mins and fish is happy. very healthy and strong. i would suggest buying the biggest one even though it costs more. Totally worth it save time and money.

Bought two of these and one of the purplish Firefish, lost one of these after about 2 days. When I say lost I mean vanished, it was the biggest but I can only see about 60% of either overflow. So there maybe hope, I did find a jaw fish in first section of my sump once. All is well otherwise, whole order was healthy on arrival.

Purchased two of these little cuties. I already had two that I purchased from Saltwaterfish two years ago. They all swim around together happy as can be.
