New to hobby need fish suggestions

[Utkarsh]

I have a 180 gallon tank which ill run as a FOWLR and will transition slowly to lps like in a year or more...
Can i keep Yellow tang, Regal Blue tang (hippo tang) and bristletooth tang in this tank?
Secondly ill be adding other fishes
2 Oscellaris clowns
1 diamond goby
1 yellow goby
1 firefish
1 royal gramma basslet
1 cleaner shrimp
1 fire shrimp
1 pistol shrimp
And few hermit crabs

Will my tangs have enough room to swim with so many fishes that ill be keeping?
I also tend to keep a lawnmower blenny but will it compete with the tangs for algae?
And with my cuc can anyone tell a crab and shrimp safe wrasse if there is any?

Sorry for so many questions but i am new to this hobby and feeling confused and lost at the moment. Please help

Fairy wrasses and flasher wrasses are safe with crabs and shrimps. Same is also true for leopard wrasses, but they are high maintenance fish.

Tanks size should be enough for those tangs. I would not add a LM blenny unless you have good amount of film algae or you see one eating prepared foods.

I would also not mix cleaner and fire shrimp. It would be better to get two of one kind. They can be aggressive towards closely related species.

Thank you so much for your invaluable advice will adhere to what you said regarding shrimps...and got to read about fairy wrasse now seems quite pretty too.
Will a flame angel be compatible with the aforementioned fishes and inverts?

Yes. But it might not be compatible with future coral additions. They are a hit or miss when it comes to being coral safe.

I would also introduce the angel before the tangs to reduce the initial aggression. As a rule of thumb, most aggressive fish should go in the last.

Ok so i should add tangs the last fish in the system? and i read about fairy wrasse thanks for letting me know of such a beautiful fish.
I am planning to add 3 solar fairy wrasse 1 male 2 female to the existing stocklist and would add them second. My clowns will be the first in tank.

Yes, I would first add bristletooth tang, next the hippo tang and last yellow tang (unless one fish is particularly larger than the others, if so add the largest last).

You can also add a 3 together if you are confident your bio filter can handle addition of 3 fish, and if you have the capacity to qt 3 fish.

Thanks a lot for your advice

I would not recommend the hippo. I would place it with something like a Powder Blue, LT/Orange Shoulder, Lavendar, or a Mimic tang. IMO, the hippo requires a bigger tank.
