whats your reefkeeping experience? the larger a aquarium the easier it is to maintain stability so if posible go the 24 but if you have a auto top off and can keep it a constant temp I think you should be ok

Ok, thanks for the information. If anyone from LiveAquaria chimes in here, what do you think on the 12 gallon nano for 1 of these or a pair? The site listed above says 55 gallons and your site shows 10 gallons.
I think I would get the 24 gallon aquapod over the 12 gallon, as it isn't much of a price difference.

Thank you for your post. From our experience we would suggest one Helfrichi Firefish in a 12 to 24 gallon aquarium and at least a 50 to 70 gallon aquarium for a mated pair. These are beautiful fish! We hope you find this information helpful.

T5Nitro,
Thank you for posting. You would be able to add one Clown Goby or one small Blenny (such as a Barnacle Blenny) with your Firefish in a 24-gallon aquarium without overcrowding. However, we feel that a Clownfish would grow too large to comfortably house with the Firefish in this size aquarium.

T5Nitro,
Thank you for your reply. The Aquapod systems include a full three-stage filtration system with mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration media. The Compact Fluorescent system includes a hood with 2 32-watt Compact Fluorescent bulbs and two blue LED lights. For a reef tank with soft corals, you would need to add an appropriately sized heater and thermometer. The included lighting should be sufficient for low-light corals and other invertebrates. For corals that require higher lighting, we would recommend the HQI Metal Halide Aquapod Systems.
