Firefish and Purple Firefish in the same tank

[carlos_fb]

I was wondering if it's possible to keep a regular firefish and a purple firefish in my 60 gallon reef tank? I know that some of them get aggresive towards its own species.

carlos_fb,

Compatibility among fish is a very popular question. Firefish are generally peaceful fish, however, they can be territorial towards their own species. Since the Firefish Goby and the Purple Firefish Goby are closely-related, we would not recommend adding more than one of these Firefish into your 60 gallon aquarium.
