What animals for a 20g?


I have a new 20g tank thats going through the curing process and would eventually like the following critters...

banded coral shrimp (I have a lot of bristleworms that need to be kept under control)

lawnmower blenny. (I love the goby type fish and everyone seems to love these)

So what I'd like to know, is if my 20g tank could handle this bioload? I wasn't thinking about getting anything else besides some softies and maybe down the line some other varieties of coral. All that's in there now is the cleaning crew (red legged hermits, misc. snails, emerald crab)

I've got a neon pseudochromis, 6-line wrasse, and a lawnmower in my 20, tank is packed with corals. I have had no problems with my bioload (skim like crazy tho).
Yes, I love my lmb.

I've got a mandarin, a fridmani pseudochromis, and a punk-***** clown in my 20 gal. You'll be fine with one fish!
