    hey all, I have a yellow watchman goby and 2 false percs in a standered 20 gallon. can I get another fish?

    I have a odysea psk_75 skimmer and It is working great on the tank no sump and mostly soft corals. also the tank has been running for about 2 years.

    want somthing peaceful and colorful. TYIA ;D

    IMO your kinda stuck as far as territories go. once your clowns pair up they will bully any free swimming fish, and the goby has your sand/bottom covered. so maybe you could do a snapping shrimp.

    oh well then idk about the skunk and the snapping, i've never had one.

    trust me the clowns look cute now, but they will be jerks come spawning time, i've seen them tear up cleaners before too.

    I personally wouldn't put 4 fish in a standard 20, especially not with 2 clowns. They're not going to stay small long.
