Nano fish question


Ok, I am starting my 20L nano, and have come up with some fish that I think will work well. Anyone know if this will be ok, or will I run into potential problems? I want all the research done before I put in water...

Fish list:
Mated pair false percs
Tail spot blenny
Royal Gramma
Sixline Wrasse

Anyone see any probs with this?

Seems like it may be to many fish to me. See what the others say.

But if you do get a six-line, you need to add it last. Put in any fish you want and allow them a few weeks to establish their hierarchy, then add the sixline. The sixline will most likely pick on any fish added after it.

Yes, I was figuring I would add in the order above. The 2 false percs are in my FOWLR tank right now, and will eventually get picked on my the others, that is why they will be first.
I have read 3-5 fish depending on size and filtration. Guess I should say I will have a AC70 moded for fuge and an AquaC remora PS. It will be softie tank with Orbit 65W dual actinic lighting.
Thanx for info on the wrasse.. Will definately add last, if I get one.

You really don't want more than 3 fish (small) in a tank that size. IMO 5 is too many.

There are terrible temptations which it requires strength and courage to yield to.

3 fish might be okay for now, but as the fish age and mature they are all going to become more territorial... I'd say just pick the 2 percs and the six-line. Those would be your best bet. A good balance between personalty and an active swimmer.
