sixline wrasse

bangai cardinal fish

 

[Danno]

not a fan of cardnial fish. From what I am reading I don't know if I can put a six line wrasse in a 20 gallon. I might though. I'll have to read up more.

Let the suggestions pour on the count that I suck at making my mind up.

Longnose Hawkfish

Longnose Hawkfish

Not reef safe....plus it gets to 6".

Longnose hawkfish are highly "reef safe" as a matter of fact but they do get too large for a 20 gallon.

Why not a pipefish? Interesting little guys, if you're willing to make sure he gets enough to eat.

the thing with pipefish is i can imagine them being sucked through a powerhead when they are asleep

 

[Danno]

I keep on reading that they can be put in reefs but they have a chance of picking at corals. I don't want to take the chance. Thats wy I said they arent reef safe (for my reef).

how about a type of small flahser wrasse. like a carpenters wrasse or something like that. also maybe a blenny or goby of some sort. neon goby?

I was gonna put Great White Shark.. but you only have a 20G

What about a Damsel fish, Chromis, Royal Gramma Basslet, Wrasse. Something that's going to stay relatively small and is peaceful.

Damsels are certainly not peaceful lol! Beat the crap out of fish 5 times bigger then them!

What about a clown goby? Good colours and stay small!

I've never had any problems at all with my Blue Damsel. I know some of them can be semi-aggressive to aggressive and so yes avoid the more territorial species.
