    Oh, it said 20 gallon nano...?
    Maybe the OP can clear up the confusion...
    Still, with the tang I would stay away from freeswimming fish like angels, and with the clown I'd stay away from rock dwelling fish like hawkfish. Perhaps a goby or jawfish since the sand bed seems to be free?

    I wouldn't get another fish. I would start on upgrading to a larger tank as the 20 gallon will become to small rather quickly for a tang.

    I might just be inexperienced here but isn't a 20g waaaay too small for any tang? Dwarf or otherwise....

    I don't know if the tang will fit into that. they need 72 inches of horizontal swimming space
