I have 3 in my 20 long. A colorful and small active and useful goby you might enjoy a rainfords ,aka court jester, goby. Will help eat soft algae and sift the sand a little.

Perhaps one of these jawfish. I hear they are great in nano's. And have cool personalities.

All personal preference :) Not all gobies will tolerate/get along with other gobies. Many will some don't. Some just don't like others of its specific species unless a mated pair, or theres plenty of space. Best way to tell is to look up the species. Hope that is of some help.

Depends on the type of goby. If you don't have enough holes and such don't get many that require them. And try to only have 1-2 digger/burrower kind. Depends on the layout and the ones you want to keep as to the otheres you can

EDIT: aditionally feed frozen brine shrimp too.
