    I have a 20 gallon long tank with alot of rock. I currently have a clownfish that is a little over an inch. I would like to get a flame angel and possibly some thing else. Is this ok?

    Flame Angels need a 30 gallon tank. I think you can add 2 more fish though. What type of filtration do you have?

    More info? What species of clownfish? Equipment? How old is the tank? FOWLR or reef?

    I don't think the Flame Angel is a good idea for a 20G, just too small of a tank. Why not get a small goby like a green or citron clown goby and maybe a Firefish? They would add some nice color to your tank and both are relatively inexpensive.

    Would I be ok with just a clownfish and a flame angel. For filtration I went +1 and have a large canister filter. It is a reef tank that Is about 2 months old

    That tank is still too small for the flame angel, even if it was the only fish in it. Look into some of the other ideas previously mentioned though. There are a number of good choices you could go with. Plenty of gobies, firefish, etc.
