I have 2 Helfrich firefish that i bought about 6 months ago. One is about half the size of the other and i watched them in the store for about 3-4 days before i dropped the $150 for both of them There were three and out of these two they were ALWAYS together. Anyways today when i was feeding Rods food the smaller one was next to the larger one and both were pointed vertically toward the top of the tank, Then the smaller one started doing this wiggling vibrating thing. It was wierd.... Could this be a courtship sign of some kind???

it sounds like courtship to me. if they get along that well they are probably male and female. if they were both female they would try to kill eachother.
the shaking vibrating is usually a mating thing. the vertical position is exactly what my mandarin gobies did when mating
