Neon blue cleaner goby and purple firefish?

System is a 30 gallon, think I will have any aggression with the two?

They will ignore each other. I used to have the same two in a smaller tank and never saw them interact in any way.

Should be fine as long as there is space and hiding spots.

I have about 25lb of Rock and a good amount of caves. There is a fish calculator that gave me a warning about the 2 together.

They will ignore each other. That fish calculator is inaccurate in this case.

I never had a purple firefish, but I had a neon goby with a regular, red firefish with only minimal interactions between them. Once or twice the goby would try and clean the firefish and the firefish would freak out and dart away. They're a bit shy. For a while they were fine together, then I saw that sometimes the firefish would kind of bully the goby. Nothing severe, but when the goby would swim around, the firefish would dart at him a bit and make him perch back on the rocks. The goby wouldn't go and hide, just stay on the rocks. I guess the firefish didn't like the goby swimming in his space. But really, they got along well in a nano tank, and added some nice color to the small tank, which was nice.

We have an opportunity to get a mated pair of these guys. You have always given us sound livestock advice. How will they do with a clown, Tailspot, and Pike Blenny?

The tailspot may chase them from his favorite perching spot, but beyond that there shouldn't be any other issues.

Thanks. I appreciate the info.

We ended up going with a little lonely guy that had been at the lfs for almost 3 months. He is awesome!
