20 gal tank

I currently have a Phantom Clown and a lonely Tiger Pistol shrimp (in QT at the moment - 73 days left). Thinking of the following stocking list to complete the tank:

- DaVinci Clown
- Wheeler Shrimp Goby (hope pairs with Tiger Shrimp)
- Yellowhead Jawfish

Thoughts? Advice? Other good options?

In a tank that small, you really only want 1 sand dweller. I’d stick with a watchman for the tiger pistol and pass on the jawfish (to my knowledge they are hard to feed as well).
Clowns are psychopaths and that can limit your options, but a pair is doable if they are the only open water fish.
For a fourth fish, I’d look into a rock dweller like a blenny.

IMO a clown goby would be a good choice. They are small and leap around the rocks but they have great personalities. You can get green or yellow, I had yellow myself.

Lawnmower gets a bit big and mean for that tank - I’d look into Tailspot blennies, linear blennies, two spot blennies, or any of the other smaller escenius blennies (not Midas). Barnacle blennies are also a good option.
