Finding the right fish is tough

I am trying to get a nice mix of fish in my DT. I currently have the following:
Mandarin
Tailspot
Midas Blenny
(2) Chromis
Coral Beauty

I have a pair of very juvenile B&W Ocellaris lined up to purchase and I HAD a Orchid Dottyback that was just ready to come out of quarantine and she jumped. I also have a 6 line and a pair of A. Ocellaris that I keep in my 35g that I use as a QT.

I have lots of LR and several small frag corals in my DT. I am looking for suggestions for some bright colorful fish that are peaceful and not prone to jump. Any suggestions?
 
Pair all your singles. Add a smaller one and in the mandarins situation look for a female with no dorsal spike. I think you will get much more enjoyment out of pairs and spawning behavior.
 
I just added the Mandy who is a good sized male. They had a female also and it was tempting to get both but I want to see if the pods are going to be sustainable. The Mandarin thing is a whole different challenge and if I can keep him healthy then a partner is certainly a possibility.
 
depending on how old your tank is and if you run a sump that 110 should be more than enough. in my 75 that is 4 years old i have a mandarin and see enough pods to support another
