#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I was wondering, i hav 2 percs, and a manderine goby, what would be a good pick for my next fish? THIS IS ONLY A 20 GAL. TANK! It also has to be reef safe and colorful.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

a good rule of thumb is 1 inch of fish per 5 gals for salt water. some sort of gobie or blenny. i would say.

I would do like a 6 line wrasse or a lawnmower blenny. The lawnmower is not colorfull but what it lacks in color it makes up in personality. the 6 line they are pretty and are small fish and reef safe.

no the crab will fine with the 6 line. six line wrasse do not get that big they are an awesome fish for small tanks so are spotted hawkfish too.

6 line wrasse are good tank fish they keep to themselves just swimming around hunting in the nooks and crannys I saw mine the other day take ut a bristle worm that was as long as he was it was kind of funny.

I have one in my 92 gallon and he is only 3 inches max, they do not grow big. they are quite pretty also with the pretty green tail and the red sttriped body. They are a good addition to a tank in my opinion. I have enjoyed mine.
