The Firecracker Nano Goby is one of the smallest marine fish available in the hobby. They are a peaceful species that's best kept in groups. If multiple firecrackers are added to the aquarium, they should be added at the same time and be roughly the same size. Ensure plenty of rockwork is available for the gobies to utilise as territories and hiding spaces. This species is very active around the aquarium, but causes no disruptions.
Tank mates should be other small peaceful species. Avoid any large aggressive fish as they will cause the gobies to hide and prevent them from feeding.
Like all gobies, this species requires for the aquarium to have a lid or a jump guard as they are accomplished jumpers
Food can be offered in the form of mysis, brine shrimp, chopped krill and other high protein foods.
