I have a 20g long anemone tank with 2 Onyx clowns and would like to add 2 more fish. The clowns stay mostly to one side of the tank where the RBTA is hosting them. What would be some good fish to add to this small tank?
 
Any goby variation probably would do fine if you’ve got nice rock scape they can hide.
 
This is the tank in question. I have dry rock I can add to add more hiding spots if this is too minimal.

Since you have anemones, it's probably best to stay away from fish that don't have swim bladders as they may get eaten by the anemones.

My suggestion would be free swimming fish that stay out in the open. I personally like blue-eye/thread-fin cardinals. They're cheap and color up nicely once acclimated. Small wrasses would be nice too, as long as you have a cover over the tank.
 
The Onyx clowns have been in the tank for 5 months now and stay mostly by the RBTA. My only concern is that I don't have another tank to move them to if the clowns are aggressive.
