I have a 5gal deskmate classic cycling. Pretty sure I want a green clown goby (2.5in max). Is it feasible to have another small fish in there with him?

Thoughts on possible tank mates:
- spotted croucher goby (2.5in max)
- yellow stripe possum wrasse (2.5in max)
- pink streak wrasse (2.5in max)
- tail spot blenny (2.5in max)
- a damsel thats not a jerk

The ones below would be awesome, but im thinking ghey would have to be solo right?

- mystery wrasse (4in max)
- carpenters flasher wrasse (3in max)
- royal gramma (3in max)
- helfrichi firefish (3in max)
- designer clown fish (3-4in max)
- splendid dottyback (3in max)
-blue tang- jk lol

Let me know your thoughts as I am new to the PICO life coming from a 90gallon!

Wouldn't recommend the possum wrasse - I have one in a 15 gallon and he's very active; I'm actually upgrading the tank because of him. I think any of the other wrasses would have the same issue.

In that size tank I think you're limited to fish that don't swim much, if there will be any fish at all. So the gobies are probably the most appropriate option!
