Firefish — quick facts
Care & aquarium requirements
Gobies and blennies are small, characterful reef fish that have become staples of the nano and reef aquarium trade. Most are peaceful, spend their time perched on rock or sand, and adapt well to aquarium life once they are feeding.
Compatibility & reef behaviour
These fish are reef-safe and peaceful, making them ideal community and reef inhabitants. Some sand-sifting gobies help keep substrate clean, while blennies graze algae. A secure lid is wise, as a few species can be skittish.
Export packaging & shipping
Each specimen is conditioned and purged before packing, then bagged in clean, temperature-matched saltwater and charged with pure oxygen for the journey. Bags are insulated in polystyrene boxes and routed for the shortest reliable transit to your airport, helping us hold DOA below 2%. For more on how we keep losses low, see our guides on professional packing and mortality prevention.
