ThatNewGuyReefing Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I'm looking at getting a pair of fish for my nuvo 10 (in the next few months). And I was wondering if I could throw in 2 flaming prawn gobies with a pistol shrimp or doing a flaming prawn/pistol combo with a helfrichi firefish. Any thoughts on this? Quote Link to comment
Jesterrace Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Unless they are a mated pair it's a bad idea. The Flaming Prawn and Pistol with a Helfrichi would be a much better choice, although IMHO spending that much on a Firefish is kind of silly. I would go with a Purple or Exquisite and call it good.

I got mine at a steal for 20 bucks. Still wouldnt reccomend. You dont see them enough to warrant any sort of money on a fish that you will see once every 3 or 4 months. Quote Link to comment

After some more thought if you want a fish that is more visible a Yellow Clown Goby would be a much better choice for the money. If you want something more unique a Pink Streaked Wrasse could work.
