Looking to stock my 20 gallon long with:
1 clown fish (already have in there)
Clean up crew is already in the tank as well

Royal gamma
A blenny
Blood red fire shrimp
And I would really like a long hawknose fish
Is this too much?
 
If the long hawknose fish is too much I might end up just putting a firefish goby
 
Long nose hawkfish reach 5 inches pretty easily, which is a bit big for a 20 in my opinion.

You could try a smaller hawkfish like a falco hawk who reaches 3 inches.

The firefish is a good choice as well of course. One of the smaller blennys+a clown+firefish+gramma is fine for a 20 in my opinion.

Thanks for that! I guess I’ll have to wait till next year when I plan to upgrade to a 75!

If you want a Hawkfish I’d wait until you upgrade just because they can be quite boisterous. Plus I’d instead go for a pink streak wrasse or possum wrasse ;)
 
You could also look into getting a fire fish!
