Fish Recommendation

[Alex]

My dad has a 20 long setup with two clowns. all parameters are good except calcium (380), which is not a problem since its not for corals. just keeping the clowns and maybe an anemone in a few months.
was thinking that an algae blenny could handle any algae that shows up. however just curious to see if anyone can recommend anything else. No tangs please, they grow to big for such a small tank.

what about a tomini Tang?

filtration on the tank is limited to gfo and carbon with small water changes on a weekly basis.

gobies are cool fish

...is that a trick question?


In any case, I wouldn't put a Tomini in a 20 gallon....they're active swimmers.

6 line is not bad choice

Hey Alex, check out the flaming prawn goby or the yasha haze goby. They are some cool looking fish. You could get them in pairs too.

Tailspot Blenny ... favorite nano fish of all time ... They have such a wonderful personality

I believe the tomini tang gets about 6" and takes some time to reach that size, once he reached that size I would put him in my tank which is a 200 gallon tank, however I would not like to go that route since retrieving a fish out of an established tank can be difficult.I thought about all suggested fish before, just wanted to see if I forgot about any fish that could help in the algae dept. for a nano tank. Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

a pair of clown and a nice anemone will be nice, if you want perculas, make sure they're tank raised.
