In general, firefish don’t do well in groups long term. They do good for a while, and then they start killing each other until only one is left. Some people have had success, but it is not very common. I can’t comment on the blennies as I have no experience with them.

I don't think it's a stupid question at all. I've never kept multiple Firefish in one tank, have heard as TheShrimpNibbler mentioned that they will kill each other off over time. I have a 140g and have a Green/yellow Fang Blenny and a Bicolor Blenny in my tank with no problems. Also have a YWG, a Sleeper Goby and Jawfish, so far no problems with any of them clashing but you never know over time. If you try to keep multiple Blennies try and avoid getting similar looking Blennies, they will fight with a fish that looks similar to them. For example you have a Midas Blenny so I'd avoid say a Yellow Fang Blenny as most likely you'd have problems.

My green clown goby as the best frowny face. He's a great fish and no one seems to pay any attention to him at all. They're little though, so in a tank that size, he may be hard to find. We named ours Waldo since we spend a lot of time looking for him (he doesn't hide, he's just little so harder to spot quickly)

I have read where people have had success keeping starry blennies with midas blennies (haven't had one myself). They're more of a perching fish, but look really cool. You might look into it.
