I am hoping to start stocking my 20g long w/ 29g fuge w/ fish soon. I am looking to go with a clown, a wrasse, and some other small fish. ideas? the fish have to be reef safe and not too aggressive.

Royal gramma or a goby/benny, clown goby and yellow watchmen are good for nanos.

I was thinking about getting a trio of firefish or zebra dartfish, or maybe 2-3 dispar anthias, a single clown (what kind? was thinking skunk or perc), as well as another small fish, the showfish. I was thinking a pygmy angel (flame, CB, flameback, any others that stay under 4"?), or maybe a small wrasse (flasher, fairy, six line, ect), a royal gramma or chalk basslet, or even a blennie. thoughts?

IMO

Definitely no Anthias.
Definitely no Angel
No Wrasse
No Clown

I'd go w/ 1 Firefish OR 1 Royal Gramma.

Good luck!

I'm sure I will get in trouble for this list but this is what I have in my 30gal sps tank.

Pair of true percs
gold neon goby
Flameback angel
Fridmani pseudo
Sailfin tang

There may be one other fish. I don't remember what it is called but I got it from liveaquaria about a year ago. Never saw it after I put in the tank and assumed it was dead. About six months ago I rearranged the rock and there he was. Never saw him again after I put all the rock back in.

I have 2 clowns and just added a lawnmower blenny. It's a 20 long with 40-50 total gallons.
