I have a Fluval Evo 13.5. There is probably only really 12 gallons in the DT. My Pink Streaked wrasse recently jumped after a year when I left the lid a bit cracked off the top. I want to get another fish that will be out in the open a lot more, and something not so expensive / unavailable. I was thinking either a Talbot, or Azure Damsel. The firefish is well established in the tank, and has it's own PVC pipe house. I also have two very tiny masked gobies that have their own cave in the sand.

Think this could work? Not sure what other option of fish I have that aren't long/slender.

I am not familiar with these 2 damsels but from what I read the Talbot being the less aggressive, I would pick that one. Make sure the damsel has a cave of her own and it should work.

Yes, it also seems the Talbot stays a bit smaller! There should be ample room for spots to hide. With the firefish taking the PVC pipe, and the gobies taking the cave burrow it basically would have the entire rockwork.
