    It's $130! But it's soooo pretty! It's the Helfrich's Firefish Goby and only gets 2.4 inches and would be a perfect size for my tank, i bet this would be my favorite fish

    If you take care of them right, fish will be one of the most long term investments you put into your tank; so in my opinion they are worth spending some money.

    do you have a puffer in that tank? What kind?

    Only problem with helfrich is that they are jumpers, esp when they get startled, just like other firefish!

    It may sound like a lot compared to other fish, but compare it to the cost of the tank, rock, skimmer, lights, etc.

    haha i like your thinking, the only thing i worry about the first one i listed is that i read that their really fragile if it gets to hot, so that's what i'm worried about
