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.
