So finally got a living organism inside my tank with that being a clownfish. Never would of thought a year ago I would have a saltwater tank up and running. After accidentally melting a emerald crab last week in the acclimation process I'm happy to say I got this one right. So far looks happy as can be but was a little bummed when the LFS claimed they were getting a large shipment of clowns and only one came in. I am looking to pair him/her whenever more come in. My question is when can I start adding damsels I am looking to only add two but I know they get territorial and the clowns need to be established before hand. I would just like a few other small fish since it is only a 20 gallon. Enjoy the pictures

Congrats. I would skip the damsels in that tank, plenty of nano sized fish available that are colorful and active and far less territorial than damsels. Only damsel I would consider would be a springer damsel, they are known to eat pest flat worms which can hitchhike in on corals or rock you add to tank down the road.

Maybe a patios shrimp and goby pair
Another clown
Hi fin perchlet
Would be nice additions
Can also add a few inverts for some variety
Fire shrimp have great red coloring
Cleaner shrimp are orange and red

Good luck with tank, looks great so far
