What fish would you suggest to add to 20 gallon fish-only tank that has two percula clowns that have been cohabiting for quite a while?



Thanks.

a shrimp goby, or possibly a basslet. Basically a small fish that won't attempt to live near the clowns host site. A pygmy hawk might work--depending on the inverts in the tank.

It's a fish-only tank, nothing but the two perculas in it. Not even live rock. Just crushed coral base, and an artificial decoration.

What would you think of a pygmy angel?

I had a couple of small black-gold chromis damsels in there a while ago, but I think the clowns attacked them.

I wouldn't add an angel to a tank without live rock. A shrimp goby would be better--it could digout a home under the decoration. I'd likely consider adding some addition items to the tank--either live rock, lace rock, or more decorations--fish need cover.

You could get a Yellow Watchman Goby and a Pistol Shrimp. They form a relationship where they help keep one another safe and well fed. Here are mine...very cool to watch.




Most shrimp gobies will create this relationship with a Pistol Shrimp. I just like the Yellow Watchman the most. :)

I would recommend at least buying some cheap base rock...you can find it at some LFS's for around $1.99/lb and its often full of nooks and crannies. Most fish would appreciate that. Afterall you want to give them something to explore since they'll be in such a small environment (in comparison to the ocean) for the rest of their lives.

Oh, go pick out some inverts! I think they are the most fun to watch sometimes heh

I have a scooter with my percula's.... but get more rock or something else for cover... not enough cover could result in a fish death caused by stress.
