EDIT: Sorry, after more searching it looks like maybe 5". . . still too big and swimmy for that tank if you ask me.

I would worry about a dragonet in a tank that small unless you plan on adding/feeding pods or have a sump.

if i got some GSP and grew it along the back glass would that work like having a fuge it would provide safety for the pods ect

20 Gal cube is too small for this wrasse. It is really too small for almost all the wrasses.
I think the Black tail is A. melanurus
Red tail is A. chrysocephalus
Yellow tail is A. meleagrides
