What fish for a 20 Long w/sump (20gallons total)
Okay well I evicted a six-line from hell last weekend who killed and evicted 6 fish.

I tried suggestions of moving the decorations around taking the six-line out and reintroduction, etc but to no avail.

Anyway he is happily at my great lfs now.

This is a SPS dominated tank with frags right now. Have some zoo's, and a fuzzy mushroom.

Looking for unique fish and diversity. Would like to have 3 fish in the tank but would settle for two cool fish.

Was thinking of doing a pygmy angel as I have been told they wont touch sps.

What do you all think?

Thanks for any suggestions.

cherub may be fine he was in my reef tank, u could also do a shrimp/gobny pair in the tank that might be very interesting to watch, or a pair of percs(true or false)

I second the shrimp goby/pistol shrimp pair. I love mine and they are really entertaining. I'd also add a pair of percs and call it good.

Gawd I cant add another perc, already have one in another tank and to be honest they really arent all that interesting. Although they are cute. They just arent they intriguing to watch. I would love to have a pygmy angel, but I know it will probably nip my sps.

I would do the shrimp and goby pair along with a Liopropoma species basslet.
