Okay so I have been doing a ton of reading on different kinds of fish. I think I have come up with pretty good fish list for my 20T. Would it be okay if I add them in the order listed below?
1 True Percula Clownfish of course to go with my GBTA
1 Purple Firefish or 1 Midas Blenny Golden or 1 Tail Spot Blenny
I cannot decide which one. Any recomendations would be nice.
1Filament Flasher Wrasse of 1 Carpenters Flasher Wrasse.
I am pretty sure all these fish are compatable. All coments are welcome
Thanks
Alex

how many fish are you looking at 3?
on the GBTA I wouldnt go that route in a 30 gallon the parameters can change quickly and the anemones need a very very stable enviroment with strong lighting to live.
the firefish is a jumper so if you go that way you need to take precautions that it can jump out.
the blennys I dont know much about so I would recomend any myself.
I prefer the filemented wrasses myself but they do better in groups of 1 male and 2-3 females same with the carpenters wrasse. they both also jump.

Yes only 3 fish. would I have to put a lid on my tank if I got a firefish? Also if I did get one filament flasher wrasse would it still be okay. I have a GBTA in my tank right now and it is doing fine. I am hoping it is going to stay that way.
Thanks for all you help.

the wrasse should do ok but it does better in groups of 3 or more.
but yeah one will be alright if you can find a super male they are the ones that are brighter and bigger than the males are.
here is a flasher wrasse that I had I never did get a good shot of all three together. I got them as a group fro 59$ they have gone up alot since I got them though.

great looking fish. You make me want one even more. Also how do I find a super male? Can you order them offline or can you have you LFS order one?

youll just have to search or ask the LFS if they can get one. They are however on the expensive side at most places so look around real good.

I would recomend the Lawnmower Blennie, exciting and best of all, algea eater and is recomended to have once your tank has been running for a while.
This is the other one you like best, Lawnmower Blennie
I really dont know how to insert a picture or just lazy

Thanks for all you responses.

Is this a super male? Trying to get an example of what a super male is. I know it is not a filament flasher, however it is a Paracheilinus cyaneus aka. Solomon Male Blue Flasher Wrasse. Found it at the doctors website. A little pricey though!

Thanks.

The lawnmower and bicolored are better off in a 50 gal. or larger, can become aggressive. The midas and the tailspot are a better choose for your 20gal. tank.

do you have any experience with a midas and the tailspot blenny? Is there any difference between them other then how they look.
Thanks for all you help :jumping:

Yes both blennys are very peaceful.The midas blenny is more of a omnivore,the tailspot a herbivore. Have never tried mixing them,but you probable could if you had a bigger tank. Hope this helps.
Mike

In my opinion wrasse's are better suited for tanks 50 gal. and above. They are very active fish and may become aggressive.
