the pistol shouldn't kill your firefish... I have never heard of that, you should be fine.

I had a pistol in with seahorses and a firefish and they all got along fine.

Only if your tank is over stocked and they have to compet for whats their to eat.

Don't put a pistol in a tank that happens to be in your bedroom.

Unless your fond of being woken up
I agree with the above, I don't think your pistol will hurt your firefish - but keep the tank well covered,.. those manly firefish are real thrill seekers, and they will go carpet surfing.
