Purple + red firefish?

[mastawong]

I'm sure people have asked this before but can I add a purple firefish to my 14g tank which already has a red firefish?

mastawong,

Thank you for your post. We would not recommend adding an additional Firefish to your 14 gallon tank. The recommendation for this species is a tank size of 10 gallons per fish, adding an additional firefish to this tank will cause them to not get along and eventually become stressed.

Thanks for the prompt reply, I'm thinking of adding another fish in my tank, I really like small fishes so I was thinking of getting a purple firefish or maybe a blenny or 2, basically I want a very colorful fish.
I currently have:
-ocellaris clown
-red firefish
-mandarin dragonet
They're all very small, about 3/4" - 1" in size.

Mastawong,

Thank you for your response. We would not recommend adding any additional fish to this tank, as they will soon grow larger and crowd your tank. Adding an additional fish will only exacerbate the problem as the fish grow and mature.
