I think it would be okay. I don't see any red flags fish wise, but space is tight as it is. The new inhabitants are peaceful fish and you may be best placing them inside of an acclimation box within the tank just to be safe. You can place the goby and firefish together, but note that the firefish may duke it out with one another. They're very tricky in groups.

Wait, did you just get a box dropped off at your door, opened it and it was live fish?

I've only ever gotten bogus amazon crap so someone overseas could leave a fake review...

Yea but I knew the shipment was meant to go to my uncle I will bring over most it today minus the clown goby and a single firefish he said I could take what I want and drive over anything I don't want so there it is.

Going to try to drive over 2 of the firefish to his house. He is letting keep a the clown goby and a single firefish.

I have to agree that with the 2 Tangs the 60 gallon might be getting a little tight (with an eye towards aggression). But enjoy your new pets. ;Cat

Why don't you take all the fish to your uncle?

He did not feel comfortable with the long drive so he told me to keep the smaller firefish and the goby plus this is the 2nd time this has happened whenever this happens he usually just lets me keep a few.

It looked like I was going to have to keep everything so instead I brought two of the firefish over but allegedly they don't look so hot right now in his tank...
