any semi aggresive gobies?

So my stock list is going to be semi aggressive but I want a fish that will hang out at the bottom of the tank like a tony but most gobies are so passive I don't know if I could do one. Any suggestions?

Stock list will be
1 gladiator clown
1 flame angel
1 orchid dottyback
1 six line wrasse (not sold on six line but I want a smaller wrasse for sure)

It's a 50 gallon tank

I'd get a Diamond Goby - mine has gotten quite large and is much more aggressive than my Yellow Watchman Goby, which is very passive.

Yeah my LFS sells a lot of diamond watchmen gobies that are good size...thanks for the suggestion...I was also thinking a hawkfish, only downfall is I can't have inverts with one.

If you went with a sixline you may not be able to have any inverts either, they can tend to be pains in the butt. Honestly my YWG and Randalls goby are pretty bold and are out and about all the time though they are both paired with pistols

My Angel bugs my Dottyback because he has a yellow tail? and my Dottyback bugs my sixline wrasse because he thinks he looks like him. Just sayin'.
