Hey guys, I’ve had my 20g long with some fish for around a month now and I’m wondering if I can add anything else
Current stock:
O. Clown pair
Royal gramma
Clean up crew
I was wondering if I could add any more fish, and if so what are some recommendations
Thanks for any help

you could probably add one or two smaller fish like a goby and/or a blenny. A tailspot or canary blenny or something like a sandhopper blenny would do well in a 20 (although the canary and sandhopper might get a little large) that or a firefish or a clown goby.

Firefish are pretty sweet, do you think I would see him regularly or would he just hide in the rocks?

you wont see him for the first week. If you notice if any of your fish are aggressive I wouldn't get a firefish.

My firefish was added with my clowns when the clowns were tiny and they actually group together.

if you want something a little different a purple firefish would look cool as well but it's a little more expensive

I really just want something that will be out and about like my clowns, they don’t chase the gramma at all so the firefish would hopefully be fine

like i said you won't see it for the first week. When I first got mine I actually was getting worried it was dead (it was my first saltwater tank so I was second guessing everything) and I removed all my rock to find him. Eventually he gets used to your presence and will come out

If it was your tank would you get a firefish or a clown goby?

I'd do both. Clown gobies are tiny however mine likes to perch on the glass so you see him a lot. However if I had to choose between the two I would get the firefish

Okay cool I was thinking if I did both that would be too much bio load
