Description: The Red Firefish Goby is a great choice for the begining to intermediate marine aquarist. They are known for hovering in beautiful groups in plain view in the center of the aquarium. The Orange Firefish Goby is also known as the Fire Dartfish, Firefish, the Orange Firefish, Magnificent Dartfish and the Red Firefish. The entire Gobiidae family includes Firefishes, Mandarins, Jawfish and Tilefish. The Fire Goby comes from coral reefs in the central and western Pacific, including the Red Sea. Though from the coral reefs, they are totally reef compatible. The Orange Fire Goby with its long, narrow, cylindrical body, has a yellow head, pinkish yellow front half and a firey red/orange back half. The rear fins are highlighted in black. Its dorsal fin is divided into two sections, which distinguish gobies from blennies. The Fire Gobies’ most distinctive feature is an elongated first ray on the forward dorsal fin. This ray is pink at the front edge and is almost half the length of the entire body. It is used to wedge the Fire Goby into a burrow for safety from predators. The Fire Goby has a swim bladder, which allows it to hover in one location for extended periods with its head pointed upwards
Minimum Tank Size: They will try to jump out of the tank, especially if stressed, so the Firefish Goby should be housed in a 10 gallon or larger tank with a lid
Feeding and Diet: The Orange Firefish Goby is a carnivore. It eats zooplankton, finely chopped small crustaceans, live & frozen brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, algae, spirulina flakes and other quality flake foods. Gobies will not touch corals and are too small to eat most crustaceans, so they are reef safe
Reef Compatibility: Very good reef or community fish
Level of Care: Easy
Company Details
It all started with a small aquarium in the year 2000 when I was 9. It was nothing short of a life-changing experience for me. The Turbo Snail was busy munching up the bad Algae on the glass of the aquarium; a Yellow Tang was busy grazing on one of the corals, a Sailfin chasing away competition, Percula Clowns sneaking up from their host Anemones! The aquarium had so much of color and life in it. Nothing stood still, and each one of the living beings went about their work, quietly and gently. It soon grew to be one of my greatest inspirations, leading me to pursue my passion for marine life and create a living out of it. And a day, here in Kolkata, I am ready to share all that I love and have learnt, with more people. Creating the awareness about this hobby was the biggest challenge that I faced, coupled with the quality of the live stocks that was sold in the market. I decided to create Marine World where quality imported live stocks and other accessories would be available at the best prices.
