Can black tetra, glofish tetra, and black skirt tetra coexist with bumble bee goby?

Considering the compatibility of bumble bee gobies with other species, I'd say it's possible to keep them with black tetras and glofish tetras. However, black skirt tetras might be a bit too nippy for the gobies, so that's something to keep in mind.

Bumble bee gobies are generally found in brackish water environments, which might not be ideal for your tetras. From what I've learned, they do tend to be a bit territorial and can be nippy with tankmates, so keeping them solo is probably for the best. If you're looking for a compatible companion, black mollies might just work out, I think.

Glofish are essentially black skirt tetras that have been genetically modified. There are several types of black tetras - black skirt, black phantom, and black neon. Which one are you referring to by 'black tetra'?

@Nutty - can you please share some details about the water parameters in your aquariums? It's really tough to provide accurate advice without knowing more about your setup. For instance, what's the water hardness and pH like in your area? I'm aware that these factors can vary significantly across different countries and regions.

They're incompatible due to their differing water origins. Bumble bee gobies thrive in brackish environments rich in minerals and salt, whereas those tetras hail from freshwater with minimal mineral content and no salt.

Bumblebee gobies you're interested in come from brackish water, which is a mix of salt and fresh water. Not many common fish are from this type of water. Most people who keep them have a single-species tank, and that's partly because there aren't many compatible tankmates, and also because bumblebee gobies aren't exactly known for getting along with other fish.
