Final 1-2 fish for 20g

Recommended Posts

I am looking to stock my 20 gallon and am open to suggestions. I currently have a Helfrichi fire fish, cleanup crew and some corals. I am getting a pair of clowns this upcoming week. I want to get 1-2 more fish, maybe a blenny of some sort and or a dragonet (will wait for copepods to establish before adding).  Does anyone have any suggestions that would work for my tank ie types of blennies or even other suggestions? I have attached a photo as it currently stands.

Tailspot blenny (TSB) or Yellow Clown Goby (YCG) would be nice. 

 

If you want a sand-dweller instead of a percher, you can look into a Yasha or Hi-Fin goby - both species will pair up with pistol shrimp, and their paired interaction is interesting to watch.

Since you plan on 3 fish so far. I would stick to small fish for the rest. A tail spot blenny or pictus blenny and a small shrimp goby would work nicely. Another option instead of one of those would be a Pygmy wrasse or pink streak. 
 

Avoid anything that could be a potential bully to the fire fish. They don’t hold up well to bullies. Certain larger blennies sometimes target them in small tanks.

Thanks all for some great suggestions! TSB was on my list already but you’ve now got me interested in the pictus. i also saw a Red Sea mimic blenny, but i don’t know much about them. 


Also I do love the idea of a high fin Yasha or watchman goby. Considering those or maybe a spotted mandarin, or ruby red dragonet. So many choices this is so difficult!

I haven't seen a red sea mimic for sale in years but the care of all those combtooth blennies will be similar.
