    90 gallon, i got:

    2 clown fish

    2 kauderns cardinals
    1 royal gramma
    3 blue/greem chromis
    1 purple fire fish
    1 chalk bass

    The gramma and blenny will be an issue.

    Well the blenny and Gramma doesnt necessarily have to be an issue, I have a lawnmower blenny and a gramma and they are fine, however the gramma does get a bit territorial with its burrow, but on a tank that size they should be ok. You can always add a school of dart gobies or something along those lines. What about a sand sifting goby or a yellow watchman goby?

    I put some comments on your post, IMO all those fish in a 90 is quite a good amount, get some good filtration. HTH:)

    i have very good filtration and im confident that it can handle a much larger bio load.

    i lost my copperband a few days ago becuase i couldnt get him to eat, so all my fish from here on out for a long while will be easy, peacful fish.

    i wont be gettin a chalk baslet, just cus its hard to find a good looking one and dont wanna gamble it ordering online.

    new list:

    3 kauderns cardinals
    1 royal gramma
    5 blue/greem chromis
    1 purple fire fish
    1 foxface lo
