So I'm getting my fish shipment tomorrow. One blue hippo tang 1.5", 2 female swallowtail angels, one neon blue cleaner goby, and 5 pygmy anthias. Think they can all go in a fresh 20g long QT tank @stoney7713 ?
That's a lot of fish in a 20 long. I do everything wrong and even I wouldn't.

Blue Hippo and neon blue goby is coming from WWC, but they ship fish and inverts from a Los Angeles location. The two angels and anthias are coming from NYAquatics.
Oh and the logic for the blue neon goby is that they are a Caribbean cleaner fish. Blue hippos are prone to parasites, so I figured I'd throw a cleaner fish in to help if there are immediate issues as I ramp up copper over 3-5 days. I have to do it slower for the angels and anthias.

Sounds like a lot but I bet they are all really small. If the 20 is well cycled, well maintained, I don't see a problem for quarantine.

Blue neons are small and cute, don't harass other fish as much but very short lived. I had one that lived 2 years in the tank.

I recently got a blue cleaner wrasse, eating frozen fine, cleans the other fish, most fish hold still as long as he's pecking away. Remember they also clean dead skin/scales and such, so if he's pecking away it doesn't always mean parasites.
