To Many Fish for a 20gallon?

[costa13]

Right know I have a pair of True perculas in my tank. I was hoping to add a fourline wrasse and a yellow watchman goby. Would this be to many fish? I have an aqua c remora that would help with the bioload.
Thanks in advance.

You should be ok, although the four line can be aggressive, hth

I have either been thinking about the fourline or some type of flasher wrasse. If I did get a fourline I would add it last.
Thanks for your help. :jumping:

Are the percs a mated pair? If so, I would not add another "free-swimming" fish in a 20 gallon. Particularly not a wrasse.
A pair of clowns will claim a very large area as their own.
Wrasse like to explore and cruise.
Probably not a good mix.

Well I just added my percs yesterday and I am waiting for them to begin hosting my GBTA. If they begin hosting an anenome would the be considered free swimming?

I'm not sure if this helps or not but I have a couple of false percs and I was doing some research under the Clown section in these forums. I think I saw two different posts where there were a pair of clowns in a tank along with other fish and then when the clowns hosted in the GBTA or other anenome they got real mean. I think that was in a larger tank even. Might be worth a read over in that forum.

even if you had no other fish any wrasse wouldn't be able to live healthily in a 20.
stick with the percs and watchman goby.

I'd stick with just the clownfish pair. A clownfish pair will defend about 2 sq. feet of space. Don't add anymore fish.
