Hello i´we updated the fishes in my tank.- New addition is 2 centropyge bispinosus and 2 Nemateleotris decora and 3 Nemateleotris magnifica. This is now a very fun little tank! Please comment!

Is this for your 45 gallon tank? If so, going to be very interesting - meaning, I foresee a lot of fighting happening.

Do you now the other names for those fish?

2- Coral Beauty's
2- purple firefish
3- Fire Dartfish

in a 45gal. I agree you will have problems especally if they arn't pairs they will prob. fight till only 1 is left of each.

keep an eye on the ammonia levels if you added them all together.

good luck.

Ammonia levels,shurething.. Well coming to fish fights i hope these arn´t half as aggressiv as tropheus or other tanganyika/Malawi cichlids.The Decora swam straight into a hole in the live rock.I can see a tail swaying and the fish hiding.. the centrophyge was in the same tank at the shop and did a little fighting,but for now they are not fighting.

They should be fine. My friend had 2 firefish goby and 2 purple firefish and they did not fight.

Thanks for the reply, i feel that it´s fisehs that will be ok together,my only consern was that my salaris isn´t getting enough food but the sea veggi put on suction cup is fine for him, it will be brine shrip and other food food for the others.

So, what all do you have in this tank?

While that one experience above is different, the majority of the time different species of firefish do not get along, and death is a common outcome.
