Some pretty fish for a 20 gallon

[Ghostyboythedog]

Hi,
I'm gonna start a saltwater tank a 20 gallon, and I was wondering what are some pretty looking fish for a 20 gallon would be.

Royal gramma

Thank you it definitely looks stunning

Many will disagree with this but with 20 gallons, you can keep a decent number of younger fish that will outgrown the tank eventually but have a plan for them. I don't mean butterflies and tangs though. More talking about baby Boxfish and fish that are really small like that when young that can habe plenty of swimming room. Also, you have PLENTY of choices of wrasses. What about a Naoko?

 

[Ghostyboythedog]

Do Naoko wrasses get huge or need alot of swimming room?

To me, a reef tank isn’t complete without a pair of clowns. +1 on a royal gramma. A yellow tailed damsel would add a pop of blue.

I think they're technically supposed to be in a 50 according to Live Aquaria but I don't think they get very big...if you really want to know, ask @i cant think he definitely knows...

True I do love them

I highly doubt it would be a problem but if you want to ask someone with a ton of experience, o tagged him

Another cool fish is a yellow assessor, swims upside down underneath the rockwork

Also most of the max sized fish that can go in a 20 gallon is 4 inches

Is a flasher wrasse good?

Might be able to do a purple fire fish if you have good rock caves.
