I've went thru 2 firefish gobies already...I checked the salinity, pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels already and they seem to be fine. Anyone know what's going on??

How long has the tank been up? Do you have good test kits and are they relatively new? Did you acclimate them properly and exactly what are the water parameters? :D

Those are fairly hearty fish.. Do you have live rock for them to hide in? I have a mating pair and they have a den they built under the live rock wall formation. They love thier privacy. What other fish do you have in the tank with them?

Make sure the damsels or the lionfish are not threating them. Those can be very aggressive fish. The rest looks fine.
