u going 2 coral fish in aiea
 
naw cant find the place
still kinda new to the island
and dont kno were most of the shops are
its actually from modern pets in town
 
i would look at a small goby and/or a cleaner shrimp or 2 and your done. the tank is so small you don't want too many. watch the clowns after you add them to make sure they don't fight.
 
wat about i keep one clown wat could i keep with it
i wana try and be diverse as possible for the inhabitants
 
You might want to look up the adult size of a clownfish.
 
I have a False Percula Clown in a 20L who currently lives with a Yashia Hase Shrimp goby and a Yellowtail Damsel. Clowns are a good beginner fish, but I'll also recommend these in a 20g:

-Atlantic Pygmy/Cherub Angelfish
-Coral Beauty Angelfish
-Flame Angelfish
-Halfblack Angelfish
-Rusty Angelfish
-Convict Blenny (note: these guys do not stay 4 inches like book says. can get up to 12" easy.)
-Midas Blenny
-Redspotted Blenny
-Redlip Blenny
-Bangaii Cardinalfish
-Orangestriped Cardinalfish
-Flame Cardinalfish
-Pajama Cardinalfish
-Clarki Clownfish
-Maroon Clownfish
-Orange Skunk Clownfish
-Pink Skunk Clownfish
-Tomato Clownfish
-Dwarf Golden Moray Eel
-Bar Goby
-Blue Gudgeon Goby
-Green Mandarin Goby [with caution, not for beginners]
-Yellow Target Mandarin [with caution, not for beginners]
-Blackcap Basslet

-Dusky Jawfish
-Fu Manchu Lionfish
-Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish
-Dragon Pipefish [with caution, not for beginners]
-Banded Pipefish [with caution, not for beginners]
-Bluestripe Pipefish [with caution, not for beginners]
-Bennett’s Toby
-Valentini (Saddleback) Toby

-Carpenter Flasher Wrasse
-Filamented Flasher Wrasse
-Fourline Wrasse
-Longfin Fairy Wrasse

Where your just starting out, Id go with 2-3 fish, then if you want when you feel confident, add one more small fish if you want.
