Default Neon Dottyback

I have a 20 gallon nano tank with a Tomato Clown. And I was wondering how compatible she would be with a Neon Dottyback?

I understand that the neon is quite aggressive, but the Tomato Clown is not really a push over either.

What does everyone think?

Thanks

Matthew

Depending how long the Clown has been in the tank, there may be a bit of hostility when you first add the dotty.

I have had a Neon Dottyback in my main tank for 4 or 5 years. This is a great fish for any tank. He has never shown any aggression to my clowns. He did starve out my Royal Grammas though. He will also compete for food with Dragonets.
