Purple firefish OK with fire goby in a nano?

Have a 24 gallon nano. Already have 2 clowns and a fire goby.

Planning to add a Purple firefish. Will it be OK with fire goby?

Thanks.

Likely kill each other.

And - two clownfish and a goby is about maximum capacity for a 24 gallon nano. Most clownfish species will also grow too large for a 24 gallon tank, as well.

I agree. One of the firefish will perish long term (but probably not immediately unless the existing one is well established)
