20 gallon high fish stocking suggestions?
Fire fish, clownfish, neon gobies, or tanaka's Pygmy wrasse
I would defiantly have to have 2 clownfish.
2 clowns in a 20H would be to much, you have to remember you're losing space with your rock. Your 20H with rock will probably end up being 15 gallons.
Here's a pretty good guide to help you select.

A lawnmower won't work in a 20H either, they get to big.

Do you have a 20g saltwater tank? Or a lawnmower blenny? I had clowns and that blenny in a 29g and they were just fine. When you stock you dont actually consider the water volume with rocks you go with the tank size. lol If that were the case a 125g reef would only have a few fish and tangs couldnt fit! LOL Which isnt the case at all. Most people will use common sense when adding rock and it wont be a tank full of rocks which then woudlnt allow much of any fish to be in that tank.
I agree two clowns should be in a 30g tank but the OP can get away with 2 in my opinion.
OP= original poster. The guy who started the thread.
Yep, you want regular oscellaris clowns, the orange and white ones.
They are fine with inverts so dont worry about that. No matter what you get size wise one will become the female and one the male, the larger the female.
