I like mystery wrasses they are very cool

Gobies and wrasses are always interesting! Research the wrasses first before buying, some aren't very reef safe and most are jumpers and need a tank with a lid.. Always pick a fish with the intention of keeping them in there, they're hard to catch with live rock in it!! My firefish and yellow clown goby are my favorite, cheap yet pretty and interesting.

+1 for the six line wrasse. Might want to add it last though. Also a lawn mower blenny, royal gramma, dwarf angels (varies on being reef safe).

I like tangs and wondering how many to keep is a not so wide tank??

I don't care for sixline wrasses in the slightest; you're much better off with a Halichoeres species wrasse (canary, melanurus, christmas, radiant, etc.). You can even house a few of them in a tank that size (look at the ones that stay in the 5-6" range), though make certain you protect the top to keep them from jumping.

You tank is not suitable for any amount of tangs, it is simply too small.

In a 90 you're real limted on tangs. But those are great dims for a 90 so theres still plenty to chose from fish wise. Just research all suggestions before you buy.

If money doesn't matter then you should buy a pair of L. carmabi. Absolutely beautiful fish. They will set you back around $2000 for the pair.

Six line Wrasses can get nasty. Wrasses such as the Mystery can attack ornamental shrimp. I would look at dwarf angels and gobies. A nice pair of clowns would be nice too.

Just make sure you know the care requirements of whatever fish you decide to get into, especially because some of the costlier fish are deepwater an adapt better to cooler water temps among other things.
