Best fish for 20g L frag tank?

[MamaP]

Hey, all!
I'm in the process of setting up my 20g long frag tank, and I'm considering adding a couple fish as residents. Any suggestions? Maybe small utilitarian fish? I know with that size tank I'm limited, which is why I'd like your advice! Please and thank you!

I'd maybe do a six line and clown pair

You'll want utilitarian fish. Skip the clowns. Algae eaters like maybe a lawnmower blenny and pest eaters like the six line.

Six line, orchid dottyback are also a choice but are hit or miss on whether they’ll play nice with others. Also depends on whether or not you’re doing a bare bottom

Yeah lawnmower and six line are like the perfect pair for a frag tank

Get a small borbonius anthias and when it gets bigger then upgrade lol

Doing live sand.

Id either do a sixline or a pinkstreaked wrasse.

If went sixline probably be the only fish.
If went pink streaked id also add a tailspot blenny.

20 gallons is a bit small for an ill tempered adult algae blenny. But combo of a pink streaked and a tailspot, get the pest eater and the algae eater with none of the attitude as if you had gone with their cousins.

I would definitely do a Blenny when your tank is ready and maybe something to sift the sand. My six line, saddle back clown and dotty all get along well. Regardless of what you do, just break up the territory with a solid rock scape and all should be fine. Best of luck and happy reefing.
