I have a 20L set up and I'm looking to see what clownfish I should get. Right now I have a fire shrimp and a starry blenny.

My opinion would be any out of the oc or perc family. Not a big fan of the maroons as they get real big and real mean. Lots of different looking ocs and percs to choose from, just depends on how much $ you want to spend.

Maybe I'll try to find some local black and white clowns.
I've liked tomatoes. But how would they do with the starry blenny. I'd get them small and the blenny is a good size

The black clowns i had were mean to me but nice to their inhabitants (Nothing worse then 250lbs of man screaming and splashing at least a gallon of water across the living room due to an attack female clown). Would add the clowns last if you want to try your best to eliminate attitude and hatred from them.

I know what you mean. I had a black but recently lost it to carpet surfing. She would bite me every time I had my hand in there.

Would I be able to do tomatoes? I can start small and move to bigger tank by the time they get big in a couple years.

You can do what ever you want. =). "I" prefer ocs and percs (big fan of snowflakes myself). Tomatoes do require a bigger tank and "I" prefer not buying something that I know I will have to move into a bigger set up later "but" if you want them, go for it. =)
