Stocking questions

[Aquadestroyer2]

I just set up a 20g tank that i want to do tangs in, and I'm not sure what would be a good mix. I would like/ have access to

Shellies
Cyps
Calvus
Brichardi
And syno cats

What would you guys recommend? I could order other species as well if you know of others that would work well.
Thanks!

Shellies are your best bet imo for that size tank

Okay so shellies for sure, any fish that would inhabit the upper region?

Shellies is all your really going to fit in a 20gal with those fish. I would not put rockdwellers in there because they can beat up on the shellies (I've had it happen in a 30gal set up) and cyps need swimming room and 20gals really isn't enough. With that size tank I would stick with the shellies. My shellies have always come out to swim around. As for species of shellies - it depends on what you like occelatus gold are nice and have a cool personality, multis are nice, speciosus are one of my top choices, there are a lot of different shellies and any of them should work. I would suggest making it a species only tank though.
