Fish Ideas for 90gal

[RBTA]

Well I recently upgraded from my 55gal to a 90gal. For fish I have,
2 Pink Skunk clowns
1 Algae Blenny
1 Yellow Watchman Goby

I would like a few suggests on what you all think would look nice. I would like a fish that swims around in the water column a bit, more than the others anyway, clowns do a bit but they like to hang out in one section mostly.

I was thinking a few Pajama Cardinals maybe,

But any other suggestions?

Thanks

Oh and its a reef tank so they would have to be reef safe.

What about a small tang such as a kole or convict? Cardinals are neat to watch but they really don't swim around that much. Pretty mellow fish. You could also add 4-6 chromis. I've got 4 in my 75 and they swim around together and are neat to watch.

Pair of banngai cardinals. Midas blenny. Trio of anthias. Royal gramma. Fairy wrasses. tomini tang.....so many choices

A trio of Anthias could be done? I thought they needed a bigger tank ((though I may still have my 55gal thinking hat on, its a bit different fishwise since Im with a bigger tank haha))
If so what kind of anthias would you suggest. I have heard Barletts, not sure how hardy they are. Sunburst/Fathead Anthias are striking too.

I was staying away from a midas blenny because I thought I read you can't have more than one blenny together?

I would really like a pair of bangaii cardinals, the problem is finding them Captive Bred. I would perfer that as wild ones can be more prone to disease.

I don't know a whole lot about tangs or wrasses, guess its time to look them up.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions

Barlett would be perfect. They aren't as scrappy as, say, lyretail. They stay small, are very hardy, and pretty. Make sure the ones you get are eating and look active/alert. Beyond that, they're pretty bulletproof. They do, however, like to be fed a lot. At least twice a day. Make sure your skimmer is up to par.

I believe the blenny thing is for similar species, ie midas and bicolor wouldn't work. When you said algae, I assumed lawnmower, no? I think they'd be fine together in a 90 as they inhabit different niches. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.

I believe banngai cardinals available today are all captive bred, like many of the red sea speudochromis.

the midas and lmb should be ok together...b/g chromis scholling are pretty nice and definately swim alot...don't be fooled, they are not like "real" damsels...and also are available captive bred(usually more $ than wild)!? u can try a fang blenny, i guarantee u that the LMB will not attack him... they are venomous with big fangs; not that they are aggressive, there's no need to be aggressise if you are a fish cobra ;0

Either a yellow tang or blue hippo tang would be great. Either one would really liven up the tank. They usually have great personalities, and they love to swim. But I would only go with one or the other. They like alot of space.

fairy or flasher wrasses are a very nice addition.
for me, although i dont have one anymore, my old yellow tang was one of my favorites.
