I'm still looking for a bottom dweller to add to my tank. Any fish recommendations?

I've also heard clown gobies get along well with most fish. What's the average price for them, and would they be a good fit for my tank?

I've been eyeing the Fluval Sea Evo and thought it'd be a solid starting point. Before making a purchase, I figured I'd run my stocking ideas by you all. I'm thinking of keeping 1 female and 1 male ocellaris clownfish, a yellow clown goby, and a purplefire fish. Is this a decent mix for a 13.5-gallon tank? If not, which of these fish would you recommend for a tank of this size?
A Watchman Goby could be a good option for a beginner like you. My experience with clowns has been that they're pretty laid-back with other fish, so adding a bottom dweller might just work out.

The Watchman Goby is a great choice for a beginner fish. They usually go for around $25 to $40.
