I'm thinking of adding a school of 3 Helfrichs Firefish Gobys. The tank is relatively (or is high flow) high flow. What are your experiences with firefish in high flow tanks, specifically the Helfrichs?
 
Bump for firefish keepers with high flow.

I would add that firefish, when mature, will only usually work as a m/f pair. Similar to banggai cardinals.
 
firefishes dont stay out in the open much, they will usually stay close to their cave entrance and won't venture far, so flow shouldn't bother them too much. 3's are usually bad idea's for most saltwater fishes. Like said above, if you can sex them as m/f it might work but otherwise they will be territorial to their own kind. Thats the accepted guideline, but who knows, maybe it will work for you
