Right now I have a yellowheaded "pearly" jawfish. I am interested in purhcasing a firefish and/or a diamond watchman goby. I know their body types are very similar so would they fight with each other or would it not be an issue in my tank. I have a 65g FOWLR tank and plan to keep it peaceful. Thanks in advance for the responses.
 
The firefish is passive and spends his time in the middle of the water column, so IMO would be fine with the pearly. Since diamond gobies spend their time on the sand bed and will burrow to make themselves a home, there may be a turf war if they try to occupy the the same area of the tank. IMO, I'd say proceed with caution, but if they set up homes on opposite ends of the tank, you should be fine. All the fish are peaceful, so aggression should be limited, if any.
 
****, I really wanted that diamond watchman goby too, but I dont want to cause anything big.
