- royal grama
- other suggestions

INVERTS:

- pom pom crabs
- decorator crab
- other suggestions

This would be a nice setup 3 fish would be ideal.

FISH:
- firefish
- tomato clown (change to O clown)
- longnose hawk
- royal grama (will be the bully)
- gobies?

I'm going barebottom so I don't think I can keep gobies, what other fish do well with barebottom tanks...

I'm not crazy about O clowns, they don't swim around a lot I want a lot of movement. What else would you recommend?

So far I have:
- firefish
- longnose hawk
- royal grama (or should I not add one due to aggression)

not sure on these:
- tomato clown (change to O clown)
- gobies? (not good in barebottom tanks)

Any other ideas

you could get a neon goby...
They're parasite eaters and pretty tiny and don't need substrate to be happy and are also very colorful.
Also, try a clown goby, they are by far my favourite nano fish and are very cheap compared to many others and also don't require substrate, not to mention there are several awesome colors and they are very entertaining.
I would say you're 50/50 in a tank that small with having the royal gramma turning mr. t on everyone else.
Maybe an orchid dottyback instead?

Neon Gobies are impossible to find right now. I've been looking for one for about three months but with no luck. It does not seem like any are shipping to Canada at present.

Prom my own personal experience I would stay away from a tomato clown. I have two that I am trying currently to catch becuase they are too aggressive and frankly not that nice to look at.

I have a royal gramma in a 28 gallon with two true percs and a damsel and SHE is very peaceful. If you make sure to get a female you will not have such troubles with aggression. I had a male and he was nice, too, but got a little too aggressive for that size of tank. Just my personal experience.
