So I have a 20L fowlr that has been running for almost 8months. Currently houses a cleaner shrimp, lawnmower blenny, and red stripe goby. I would like to add one more fish that likes being front and center and makes use of the water column and am looking for suggestions.
Nitrate 10
Sg 1.025
Aqua clear 50 running carbon and sponge (rinsed every other day)
Remora nano c skimmer

Yellow assessor, firefish, bangaii cardinal.
 
Like the yellow assessor. I do like the fire fish, but wasn't sure already having a goby if they'd have issues. My 110 mixed has benggai cardinal already so was looking for something diff. Actually ended up snagging a new addition to the family here a few ago from Joe Knows Reefs by recomendation of Joey here in Charleston. A gorgeous lemon peel angel.

The firefish and goby will be fine together.

Was the lemonpeel for the 110 or for the 20? Thy are one of the riskiest angels with corals, and are a larger Centropyge species, so will quickly outgrow a 20.
 
It's for the 20. No way would add to my 110 and risk it. If/when starts to outgrow looks like a good reason to convince the wife to get her a 70. (It is a 20Long so should allow a bit more time since has decent swim distance as a juve)
 
I do however already have a coral beauty in my 110 so no more dwarf angels for it. Been a model citizen for last 6 months or so.
