Hello all,
I decided to step back into saltwater after almost a 15 year hiatus. Today, I picked up a 20 gallon fusion tank. My goal is to start only with fish, and then slowly add coral, if I decide I want to go that route again.

There are a few species I am interested in, and I am curious about their compatibility and numbers in this tank. The tank is 24"x15"x13". I have a big interest in Trimma sp. gobies and Eviota sp. gobies.

In a tank this size, how many of these gobies would you recommend? I have also looked at some species of pipefish, as well as possum wrasses which I have read are very peaceful. Is this a good enough tank for a big group of Trimma/Eviota sp. gobies, as well as one possum wrasse and maybe one pipefish? I see a lot of posts with people keeping one or two Trimmas in a big tank, but not really a trimma only tank.

Thanks in advance,
 
You could easily do 20+trimma or eviota gobies. Pipefish and possum wrasses will fit well too.
