I currently have a spingers' damselfish and an occy in my 20L but am considering adding another fish to the display (I have allot of live rock and a fair few large cave-structures), I'd really like something which might occupy the open-water or the top of the column but I'm not really sure what to go with.
I know Chromis *can* work out okay in the long-run with damselfish and that springers' are some of the least-aggressive damsels out there, I was also considering the possibility of trying to add a royal gramma or a chalk-basslet (since they should be able to hold their own ) but they're both semi-cave dwellers and not as active as something along-the-lines of a lemon-chromis. A possum or pink-streaked wrassse isn't totally off-the-table either, as I have an acrylic-lid, but I'm not totally-sure whether they* would become problem-fish down-the-line because of their aggressive-tendencies as adults, they also don't really occupy the area of the tank I'm trying to fill.
Another consideration was just to go with an additional less-aggressive damselfish like a neon, talbot's, or randall's, but I've heard Talbots, while peaceful with other fish, can actually be aggressive towards other damselfish species and randalls are pretty difficult to come-bye.
Was hoping to get some insight and advice, I'd really like to increase my bioload so I can stop dosing nitrate and phosphate just to stay above-0.
