Torpedo Goby, Ptereleotris evides

Blacktip firefish / Scissortail

One of the larger Dartfish species. They are best housed with other small peaceful fishes. Large or aggressive fish may bully them. Can be kept singly, in pairs, or in groups, and can also be kept with most other Dartfish species except the much more aggressive Purple firefish (Nemateleotris decora).

Typically 2” to 4”, may grow to 5”.

Reef safe with all corals. As with most small fish, large predatory fish may try to eat them. As with most small reef fish they may jump if startled so a tight fitting lid with no gaps is recommended.
