RED Firefish Goby
-
Nemateleotris Firefish should be added to aquariums with plenty of rockwork, cracks, crevices and caves for hiding when threatenedd.
-
Firefish will also need ample swim room with moderate current as they will generally face into the water flow in order to capture food.
-
Small groups have been housed together in larger aquariums.
-
House with other tank mates that will not out compete Firefish for food. Feed a diet rich in meaty foods twice daily as Firefish coloration may fade if not well fed.
-
Provide an aquarium with a tight fitting lid as they are known to jump.
-

We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 20 gallons or larger for this species.
