Dartfish compatibility?

[TangingOut]

I currently have one red firefish. Can add a purple, a Helfrichi, a scissortail, or a small school of zebra barred?(3 or 5) Can I add them all? I have a 110 with plenty of hiding places. Ideally I would like to add the Helfrichi and zebra barred.

The other firefish species likely will not be tolerated within the span of three months you will be left with only one. The other dartfish, which are from a different Genus, Ptereleotris, all can be added and will peacefully coexist and socialize together.

I agree with eatbreakfast that multiple firefish will most likely be a problem sooner or later. In the past, I had a red firefish, scissortail, and zebra barred dartfish peacefully live together, and even share a burrow in a 125g. I only had one of each and there were never any problems. I wouldn't get any other firefish though, because you already have one established, and the purple and helfrichi are similar so it probably wouldn't work out.

Ok, thanks. So no Helfrichi or purple. A small school of zebra barred I'd ok though?

 

[eatbreakfast]

Yes, zebra bar gobies are very social, as are scissortail gobies and their whole Genus.

It comes down to the fish but the majority of the time they will not agree with each other, so far I have been lucky, added a purple after a red and they get along great, for about 7 months now, 0 aggression toward each other or anything else so far. But I know I run the risk of it just flipping one day.
