20 gallon stocking questions.

[Wolf89]

Hi all. This will be my second saltwater tank and I'm looking for y'alls advice and approval for my plan. Here is what I plan on stocking a 20 gallon with. Well it already has two of these. I have few pounds of live rock

I already have about 5 big ole hermit crabs (these are not the normal hermit crabs. They are thin striped hermit crabs and are pretty big. Look em up)
I have some snails
I plan on getting a pair of clownfish
a six line wrasse
a possum wrasse

I plan on breeding and culturing pods to supplement their food. Thanks for your opinion and please do not hesitate to tell me I'm wrong. I'm new to the hobby.

Welcome to reef2reef!!!
I would choose the possum wrasse and 2 clowns. Instead of haveung two wrasses in that size of a tank and especially the six line. Things can go bad with that fish.(personal experience)

I'm assuming my hermit crabs would eat a ruby red dragonet?

hermits don’t go after fish unless there dead. IMO I wouldn’t get a wrasse and dragonet in a 20.

They've eaten a few shrimp that I've put in

Definitely cant do sixline and another wrasse.

You can do possum and a pink streaked wrasse though.

One wrasse, no dragonet in something that small with not much experience

Thanks all. I will add a pair of clownfish and a possum wrasse
