i think im going to jump back into the tangs, i have a 20 long that is planted, but i will be changing it out to white sand, and lots of rocks, now what kind of fish should i look at. My current ideas are
4-6 shellys
a small group of J. transcriptus
or in lue of the julies some caudopunctatus
what are your ideas, any fish not listed or in stead of what i have listed, all ideas are welcome and again thank you every one for all your help

20gal long should be a species only setup its too small for a multiple species tank due to aggression when they are older and larger and are breeding, this size tank would be an ideal shellie species tank, a group of Multi's or Occie's should be fine..

If you have enough shells (at least 3 for each fish), you can start with a colony of 10 multies without any problems in a 20gal long. IMO, 4M/6F is OK.

Or just get a group of 6 juveniles and let them form a colony bets are that there will be a female out of six..
