Help me finalize the fish stocklist for my 34g

[Reefheart]

Current inhabitants:

Fish:
2x Percula Clowns
1x Tiger Blenny
1x Yellow Coral Goby

Inverts:
1x Sebae anemone
2x Clams
1x Christmas Tree Rock

Corals:
A couple of SPS and LPS

Final fish choices:
Rainford goby (read that they are either hard to feed or decimate pod population?)
Six line wrasse (will it decimate the pod population?)
Pygmy wrasse (apparently low survivability)
Flameback Angel

I prefer small easy fish with low bioload (tiger blenny is my prime example, peaceful, grazes on algae, doesnt need to be fed much).

Instead of flame back angle i would go with Dwarf Angel. I have had no luck with Rainford but Six line are nice and active and seem to do well.

Six line wrasses always make the list for things people wish they would not have added to the tank. Jerks.

I like the pygmy (possum?) wrasse much better.

I would not add the Six-line wrasse. For me for me, Six-line wrasse can go into my tank over by dead body.
Instead of two different angel species, consider *** two small of the same species, then you have a pair and they will spawn in your tank. However 34 gal is kinda small for dwarf angel long term, even tiniest species like Cherub angel. They (all dwarf angels) are very active fish and will out grow your tank quickly, even if you get tiny ones.

Must be one of those stupid no-no words.

????? Flameback Angel is a dwarf angel...

Flame angel!!!!

I decided to skip over the rainford as it seem to be reliant on pods.

Definitely will get a possum/pygmy wrasse if LFS gets them in. As for the cherub/dwarf angels, it will be either the flameback or flame angel, but still abit iffy due to their size/ reef caution status. Unless I move away from corals and focus on my sebae anemone and clams.

Highly recommended to get rid of the Sixline wrasse also. Cherub angels are likely the smallest of the Dwarf Angels.

Thanks Minh and guys. Really liking this proposed final small fish list:

2x Percula Clowns
1x Tiger Blenny
1x Coral Goby
1x Pygmy Wrasse
1x Cherub Angel

Now just a matter of luck of getting the wrasse and angel, as they are quite rare in the local LFSs. Prefer not to ship (had a fish DOA before)

Wait until you have a sale and get them from Live Aquaria. I had good luck with LA, plus guarantee for 14 days. That should have you cover. Two or three fish should get you to the free shipping mark.

I'm not crazy about any of the dwarf angels in a 34 gallon. Definitely don't add a flame angel, as they get way too big. Your best bets among them would be C. argi (cherub), C. acanthops (African flame back), or C. flavicauda (yellowtail). LA still lists a 55 gallons as the minimum for those though.
