    My 90g needs more fish. It looks abandoned.

    Fish I have:
    A yellow watchman goby
    - it may be worth mentioning that I have a pistol shrimp as well
    A melanurus wrasse
    A clown (ocellaris)
    Various inverts

    Fish I am interested in:
    Midas Blenny
    Barnacle Blennies
    Some sort of tang (undecided)
    Engineer Goby(s)
    Mandarin (once the copepod population reestablishes)

    I'd go with a tang and a dwarf angel. Cardinals are cool too. I'd be careful getting a second goby

    IMO Engineer Gobies get big and ugly and distructive. They like to burrow, big fish burrowing can be an issue.

    Have you thought about Anthias. Beautiful colors, swim in the upper portions of the water column, hardy once established. Trios are always a great choice.

    Love the Branacle Bennies but not big swimmers and might not be readily seen in such a large tank.

    Interesting, I'll consider it! They may be a bit pricy for now though (i mean buying three at once).

    Member Vinny and a couple other members have the Bristletooth Tomi Tang. I have never had one but I think they are really attractive, with min tank size of 70 gallons and seem to be pretty peaceful. Everyone say that images do not capture it's true coloration.

    I have kept Fire fish in trio as well. A colorful fish that once acclimated is out and about mid way in the water column. Order them young and introduce all at one time.

    I definitely vote for the Tomini tang. I have one in my 90 with a fox face (they get alng great in my tank). My Tomini loves all the caves I have in my DT. He spends most of his time swimming in, out and around. Also pics you see on line do this fish no justice. Its colors are truly beautiful

    Divers den sometime gets the white tailed bristletooth tangs with red coloring. Those are uber sweet! Another cool tang. My wife and I love our little tomani though.

    Serious as a heart attack. These Tomini are perfect IMO because they only get about 6" and the 90g gives him plenty of room to maneuver
