Uncommon stocking suggestions for 20 gallon

[samanthamartin57]

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.

What about a shifty little possum wrasse?

I will always have a cherb angel. Right now mine eats sarcophyton but no other corals.

I’ve thought about those! I like the look of the tanaka possum wrasse

 

[i cant think]

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...

Agreed!

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)

I would put a neon dottyback or and a goby shrimp pair :)
