Question On What Fish Will Get Along With My Other 2

I'm looking to buy another fish pretty soon. I have a Saddleback Clownfish and a Six Line Wrasse. They get along and I've been told I should really only have 3 in the size tank I have. So my question is what would be a good fish that gets along with these 2? Any rare ones I should be looking for? Also its a 20 gallon saltwater, with coral and liverock. Standard lighting system, no metal lights or anything crazy. Preferably I'm looking for fish that is blue in color, since blue is my favorite color. Also I've had a neon goby and was not happy with it. It ended up committing suicide anyways. Lol. I would like somethng that is can be seen in the tank and doesn't hide 24/7.

Re: Question On What Fish Will Get Along With My Other 2

Not good news from me.

The 20 Gallon marine aquarium is too small for the Anemonefish you currently have in it. The 20 Gallon marine aquarium is too small for the Six-Line Wrasse you have in it. So I can't recommend putting in a third fish.

You want to aim to stock your aquarium with fish that, for that size aquarium. remain less than 1.5" in length even as they get old. That is one fish or two, where each of the two wouldn't grow over 1" in length.

In the wild, that same Anemonefish would occupy a space of about 6 cubic feet. Even though they can handle some reduction in space in captive life, it is best to put one in a display tank of no less than 29 gallons. A pair in 45 gallons works out pretty well since a pair usually needs about 9 cubic feet of water in the wild.

If you still want a blue fish and not the Neon Goby (which of the two you have was the only one suitable for that sized aquarium), you can get rid of the two fish you have and put in a Yellow Tail Damsel. It will be very active and hide rarely.
