What To Do Next?

Hi!
Wow, I haven't been here in forever.

LOL, ok, even though I've had my tank for over a year now, it's not anywhere near being finished. It's a fish only,20 gallon tank, with some rock (but not LR) and some fake plants in it. I currently have a Fiji blue devil and some kind of crab (brain fart, I don't remember what kind). My question is... what should/could I put in it next? I have heard many, many things about damsels being not nice... and I'm kinda cautious about that one. Any suggestions? Thanks a bunch! (Oh yeah, and I do have copper in my water, according to the people at the fish store).

The copper should take care of that crab ("farty" we'll call him) soon enough if the levels are high enough.

Remember, you have 20 gallons to stock, so stuff like panther groupers and lionfish are out of the question. Maybe a clown, chromis, or even a damsel outside of the blue family. 1' of fish per 3-5 gallons, depending on who you ask. We've all crammed more in our tanks. I'm just as guilty as everyone else, but remember...would you like to be put in a 1 room apartment with no door, no windows, 1 bathroom and 10 strangers, all of whom will be more than happy to make a meal of you when you're not looking?

Anyway, take a look at what you like and ask us! We'll be happy to change your mind for you!!
