I cannot decide between a orange spotted goby or a flame hawk fish does anyone out there have experience with either of these? which would you pick if you had the option? I do not have any fish in my tank yet but here is my list of fish so far. 30 gallon tank
1 Midas blenny
1 saddle Valentini puffer
1 pink streaked wrasse
Thank you for all of the help really appreciate it. I am open to other suggestions or tell me if my tank is full.
 
I can say from personal experience that Hawks can be fairly aggressive. I have a Pixy Hawk in my 32g tank who has managed to make himself the only inhabitant. I will add more fish in another week or two but they will definitely have to be at least semi-aggressive. He killed two wrasses which were larger than him.
orange spot gobies are really cool but are also jumpers... make sure you have a good lid if you go with one. He would probably do better with the other fish on your list... the only question being whether he’ll have issues with the MB since they have a similar body shape.
 
Flame Hawk is one of my favorites. I think it pays more attention to what I'm doing all day than I do him.
