Small companion fish for school tank

[Frankyrivera]

I posted this on the other site but I don't know where people are most on these days so ill post it here too. 20 gal tank already has a clown pair. What else can I add. Don't want chromis. Maybe fire fish or Cardinal or hawk fish or gobys or bennies. Any ideas would be great. Kids want more live stuff and colors.

A 6 line wrasse maybe. Very active and nice to look at

Do you have live rock? If so a tribal blenny would be nice. Good luck

What about a shrimp and goby pair? Form and function. Great color possibilities,the cool level for the kids and a few lessons could come from them.

6 line too mean
Yes I have live rock
Shrimp and goby pair sounds nice

 

[Lena]

Actually six lines are suppose to be peaceful fish now the clowns are feisty

 

[Masedaddy]

What about a Tanaka Wrasse?

A flame hawk would be great. Looks cool and is always moving about. Bengai cardinal would work also, they tend to be always out front and visible. Firefish and blennies are also a good choice also. Shrimp and goby pair are nice but you have to hope they set up shop in the front portion of your tank. Also the shrimp can stay hidden for a long period of time. I think you want smaller fish that don't need special accomodations are colorful, active and out front a good portion of the time.

clown goby would be a great addition

Not when they get to be full grown... adults are little bullies!

This was going to be my suggestion. I had a yasha goby and a tiger pistol shrimp and it was by far my kinds fravorite tank inhabitants.

The tiger pistols are out much more than the others. As for where the set up camp, I have found that they make several openings and move around them all. I have seen this with more than one pair, tiger and yellow watchman goby.
