I am still planing my stocking list and i was wondering if a fire fish goby would be ok with a bubble tip. i am afraid he might become food for the bubble tip? what do you guys think? my friend has a carpet and hes eaten over $200 worth of fish.

That's my other issue, they do jump form the thank? If so I won't get one. How's the neon gobie. They are cool looking.

I also had a fish eating anemone (pink LTA)...all anemones eat fish, but they don't go hunting. The fish swim into the anemone. I noticed that my fish that were used to the anemone when it was smaller, had no problems saying away from it when it got really big...all new fish however were doomed. I got rid of the anemone and I don't plan one keeping anymore beautiful fish killers.

i have had only 1 fish die from an anemone. it was a clown goby. I seen my firefish under the same rock a Condy anemone was in and he was fine. I was worried but fish kind of know to stay away. I would say get one.

I haven't had any luck with neon gobies.....The ones I have gotten were so tiny...after 1 day I never saw them again.
I have a firefish in my semi-covered 54g...it has not jumped....I guess it's happy :)

There is a chance that any nem may eat a fish, but a carpet increases the chance 10 fold. Members of my local club have lost tangs to large carpets.
