Royal Gramma VS. Firefish

In Memoriam
I have a firefish right now and was thinking of getting a royal gramma. Do you guys see anything wrong with these 2 guys in a tank together, I have a 20 gal
 
I've seen lots of tanks with RG's but they can become aggressive in smaller tanks. I would fear for the Firefish, poss. jumping out if that were to happen. But I'm not 100% sure

as far as others in a 12,

Firefish with a
a clown or
goby of some kind

i'd prob try to keep only 2 in the tank for bio load reasons
 
Assesors (Blue and Yellow) are related to Gramma's and passive, I have both a blue assesor and a firefish in my tank.
 
The jumping was one of the factors that I was worried about. What would you guys recommend for stock in my tank with the firefish?
 
I have a purple firefish, a true percula, and a yellow watchman goby. It seems to be a perfect combo, as the percula stays mostly in her coral (frogspawn), the firefish stays on the left side of the tank, and ywg hangs out on the sand and in caves. I was told the firefish/royal gramma combo would be problematic, as they are a bit similar in body type and would fight.
 
My RG turned very aggressive with my firefish. I finally had to catch her and move to another tank. I just got another firefish to go along with the first one.
