A fish of Indo-Pacific, Australian, and Hawaiian origins, this animated, relatively hardy, colorful character grows to a maximum length around 2.5 inches. Its size makes it perfect for large and for small aquariums. Groups of Firefish Gobies in close quarters will tend to become territorial and can show aggression amongst themselves. But given plenty of room, individuals and pairs usually do fine. The Firefish Goby is a great aquarium addition as it displays no aggression toward other fish, corals, or invertebrates.

Approximate arrival size for Firefish Goby: 1.5 to 2.5 inches
