I currently have a 1 year old Fluval evo 13.5 with a pink streak wrasse, yellow line cleaner goby, and a Yasha goby pistol shrimp pair. The Yasha goby sits at the cave entrance, yellow line perches around and the pink streak cruises around. Is it a bad idea to add a white banded possum wrasse I’ve been looking for one for a while and finally found one. I also have a 25 lagoon with one bangaii cardinal but already have a shipment of 2 other fish coming in in a couple weeks. This fish has been hard to find so I want to get it before it sells out and I can’t find it again.
 
For a 13.5, yes that feels tight. In a 25 with 3 others, I would consider it but it would depend on the other fish and layout.

Though they are shy or borderline secretive, they will come out at twilight and are pretty fast/agile, so even at a small size, having a good bit of rockwork for them to cruise around is probably helpful.
 
25 has a bangaii and in like a week or so I have a geometric Pygmy hawk and a yellow assessor arriving. I have a good about of rock work in both tanks. I just don’t want to add it to the 25 at the same time as the 2 others and overload it too quick so trying to figure out if there is any possibility on getting it before it sells out
 
While they're not super common, they do also come by. I've got them on my radar and while at any moment I don't know of a place I can get one easily, I also will see them at least a few times a year at most of the places I look.
 
The 13.5 I would say, is a no

The 25 could work, but I would wait a few weeks before adding another fish, especially when you've two coming in, but that's just me!
 
If the nutrients are fine, it comes down to homes. If everyone has a home , something like a single clown would be fine. That goby is tiny, yasha is tiny, pink streak keeps it moving. Maybe a tiny blenny or something
