Currently I have a single bluestripe pipefish in a tank with some mangroves. I've had the pipefish for about a month and it is doing amazing. What are some suuper peaceful fish that I could add to this tank? It is a 20g. I was thinking possibly Banggai Cardinals? Let me know if you have any suggestions. I'm open to anything.

Mine lives in a 75 gallon reef and gets along with everyone. He even cleans some fish occasionally. A cardinal would work, and maybe a possum or pink-streaked wrasse, tailspot blenny or clown goby.

I’d only get one cardinal if you do go with that fish.

My two bluestripes are in a 50 with 2 royal grammas, yellow assessor, lantern bass and baggai. I have had them for a year and have never seen them eat.

Not many if any i'd recommend as they along with fish will compete for food and they eat constantly as part of survival. Pods in tank however will give them a chance.

Firefish goby
twin spot blenny
bottom dwellers such as thompson Goby
