He wanted a non-aggressive tank, SFE and Humu Humu Trigger would not work. Fish under $20 would depend where your at. Green Chromis, Clowns, Some Goby, Some Blenny, Royal Gramma, etc. These are generally some of the least inexpensive fish around. :happyfish

if you're lucky you can find a midas blenny for 15, but they usually run around 25 here in SoCal.

I agree, Clowns, Firefish, Lawnmower Blenny, Royal Gramma are all good fish. Lawnmower is cool to watch, but mine hasn't touched the long hair algae yet. I'm starting to think my luck is still running sour, lol.

I would avoid a purpleback psuedchromis unless it is going to be the last fish in the tank. I had one and it bullied my other fish. I wouls go with a sixline wrasse.

Mine had a great personality. He would always come to the glass to see me. He made cute lip marks on my glass when he would try to eat off it.
Someone suggested a Midas Blenny. Very cool fish, hard to find. If you get one try to find a large barnacle for it to swim through. They love that.
I recently got a purpleback psudochromis. He's really cool with a good personality.
I love my maroon and gold stripe clown. Probably slightly over $20 is most areas though.
Had a six line wrasse for a long time. Fun fish to watch swim around.
