I have a 20 gallon IM nuvo that is pretty much done cycling and I’m looking into stocking options and I really want some uncommon stocking suggestions. I like fish with a lot of personality. My original thinking was a pair of clowns, yasha goby with shrimp, a blenny of some variety, and a free swimmer( potentially a fire fish). But I’m curious what other people would do! As far as corals go, I’m planning on softies and LPS.

Splendid dottyback definitely have personality lol
 
Cryptic sixline wrasse, Cherubs or African Flame back Angel, Neon dottyback (If you don’t care about aggression- always add it in last either way though), springers dottyback.

I don’t recommend cramming ALL of that in the same tank, I have 5 (2 are temporary, and 1 just hides in his cave - Yasha Goby) in a 20g cube
 
i really like my orange spot blenny...
I have a similar one - Escenius lineatus and I can really say, blennies hold up to their personality so much! Especially when they’re okder (Mines hit the 2.5” stage and his personality is the best, He may get a bit big for my 20g cube though however I do have a 4’ if it comes to it)
