Which fish would be best for a 20G?

[parker171]

Well im going to buy a fish today and was wondering which would be best for my tank, right now i have a clown and sixline wrasse in it... These are the fish im thinking of.. Firefish,blue damsel,domino damsel,royal gramma,anything else? Also would i be able to have pepermint shrimp in this tank?

what kind of clown do you have?
Blue and Dominos are very aggresive you may want to stay away from those in a small tank, love the Firefish but make sure you have the tank top sealed or they will become dryfish in your floor and I think they do best when kept in pairs, the gramma is a good choice as it does not do a lot of swiming, Gobies are nice peaceful fish, and shrimps are Ok with your choices.

depending on your clown, you'd do good to get a mate for it, as they do do better in pairs than singly, just make sure the new one is either smaller or larger than the one you currently have

how would i cover the back of my tank? could i just put something over top of it to keep them from jumping?

and its a false perc clown, i had 2 of them for like 2 years but recently one died so im kinda looking for something new

 

[mboswell1982]

whatever you put over it has to seal it tightly, they can fit through a small space, rotary had a clown go through a half in crack

I used to have eggcrate over my tank in the past until I noticed that it was cutting down on the lighting, I removed the eggcrate and a week later found my wrasse in the floor, sucks, a buddy of mine used bugs screen the kind used in windows and he says (I have not seen it yet) it does not impede any lighting from entering the tank.
hey the firefish are on sale on this site this week $10, just got the email.

[mboswell1982]

get another false perc for starters, and then u can prolly do one more fish, and no, unfortunately, you cant order any livestock off this site
