Critique my fish list and suggestions

[hvacman250]

I am going thru a fallow period (as soon as I can catch the last fish, a Horseface Blenny) and I am changing my stocking procedures from here on out. No more rash decisions and QT, QT, QT!

Here are the fish I currently have in QT and treating:

Ocellaris clownfish - Amphiprion ocellaris (male) (Indonesia, Maldives, Africa/tank raised)
Ocellaris clownfish - Amphiprion ocellaris (female) (Indonesia, Maldives, Africa/tank raised)
Pajama Cardinal "“ Sphaeramia nematoptera (Indonesia)
Pajama Cardinal "“ Sphaeramia nematoptera (Indonesia)
Hippo tang "“ Paracanthurus hepatus (Indonesia) WILL NOT RETURN TO DISPLAY)
Yellow Coris Wrasse "“ Halichoeres chrysus (Coral Sea)
One Spot Foxface - Siganus unimaculatus (Eastern Asia)
Falco Hawkfish - Cirrhitichthys falco (Fiji, Vanuata, Indonesia)
Red Lip Blenny - Ophioblennius atlanticus
Two Spot Bristletooth Tang - Ctenochaetus binotatus (Fiji, Vanuata, Africa, Sumatra) (ON THE FENCE ABOUT RETURNING HIM)

Tank is a standard 210/220 (72x24x30H) Large Ritteri anemone and SPS.
I want a lot of small, peaceful type fish (why I am not retuning the Regal and may not return the Bristletooth)

Are there any fish you wouldn't return to the display?

Only fish on my radar currently to add in the distant future is a trio of Scissortail Dartfish (good idea, or no??) and several Wrasse from the Cirrhilabrus family: Exquisite, Labout's, Orangeback, Lineatus are ones I like, but I like them all!

Also have 2 Yellow Assessors in QT as well. (Good idea here??)

I would ditch both or one of the cardinals, since they are solitary species and rarely school. You mentioned you only want small and peaceful fish and you might not keep the bristle tooth tang, the foxface will get bigger than the tang will full grown. I would keep the tang and the foxface for algae removal. The assessors may not not get along with the blenny

Thanks for your input. The Cardinals are a spawning pair, I should have mentioned that. The clowns are a spawning pair, too. All of these fish have been in the tank 2-3 years EXCEPT the blenny and hawkfish.

The only fish I am attached to are the clownfish and the YC wrasse.
