marine betta?

would really like to own one. if i was to own one it will be housed in a fairly established tank (>12months). apart from the obvious issue of getting it to eat properly i would like to house it with a pair of twip spot gobies. do u guys think there will be a predation issue?

They tend to be very aggresive and dont do well with smaller fish.

righto so its a no then... bummer, are thier any similar fish out there that would do well in such a setup (reef, mixed soft and stony corals)? a fish that would co exist with a pair of gobies and possibly an pygmy angelfish?
