    I currently have a Yasha Goby/Pistol shrimp combo in my 55 fowlr. Is it possible to put a pair of Firefish in there or will they fight? My Yasha doesn't venture out of her cave, but I know they are member of the same family and that family member don't normally get along :-/

    Firefish are jumpers. the last thing you want on your hands is a carpet surfer. I don't know how a goby/pistol pair would do with them though. waiting for further input.

    I'm not worried about jumping, my tank is covered

    They will be totally fine! I've got 2 FF in with my Tangaroa goby/pistol. 2+yrs and never an issue :)
