Yellow fish for a 20 gallon. Stocking ideas?

[jbholasingh]

So I have a 20 gallon and my sister insists we need a yellow tang. I've already had to break it to her that the tank is waaaayy too small for yellow tang or any tang in general. I was considering a Midas blenny as an alternative. What other options are there for a yellow fish in a 20 gallon?

No, lemon peels are really active fish and don’t suit a 20g.

I would recommend a coris wrasse or a canary Blenny. Midas get a bit too big I think. 6 inches.

2nd the watchman goby. And get a pistol shrimp to go with him! Mine finally paired up in my 20 gallon

You can get a biota yellow tang. They come small enough, but I don't know how quickly they grow. In todays market it shouldn't be too hard to get rid of when it grows out. (I recently sold mine for 200$)

This. Super fun addition to my 20 cube. With the frowny face, my kids call the goby Sunshine. Mellow, and a great eater!

I would recommend canary blenny yellow clown goby or gold assessor

yellow assessor, a wild caught one is a neon sign color.

Yellow tangs grow fast. No way you can put it in a 20g. They need lots of space.
