The Achillies Tang is a very difficult to keep selection that is best left in the hands of extremely accomplished aquarists.
THe Desjardini Sailfin is also a Zebrasoma species of Tang, like the Purple Tang. You need to pick only 1 of these 2 fish.
The Chromis should fit nicely.
Royal Gramma will mix well and are sturdy fish. You will want to quarantine this fish, however, as they are very prone to ich.
The Rabbitfish would be best left for a larger aquarium, as they need a lot more swimming space than you have to offer.
Percula or Ocellaris Clownfish would be fine. A Trigger would not be a good idea for this size aquarium.
Now, I have a few words to elaborate on the concept of keeping a Mandarine Goby. Granted, the length of time an aquarium is set up does not have a direct correlation to the stability of the environment. However, the advice for having a seasoned aquarium is more appropriate with a Mandarin because of its very unique dietary requirements. Rather than wait a year, I would advice that you have a refugium, and wait until a thriving supply of copepods and amphipods are visibly apparent within your aquarium. Additionally, do not keep any other species of fish which require this special diet. A 90 gallon is pushing the limits of capability of supporting a single Mandarin. | Thanks a lot! You answered exactly what I needed answered! I'm upset about the sailfin/ Purple Tang but what are ya gonna do. As for the achillies, I feel I could handle it but I think I'll hold off. So with a Hippo and (let's say I go with the purple, Is there another tang I could do? Or (and I know I have to worry about corals with the but...) a butterfly I could put it. I have a heniochus already. I just want to have a nice community tank with tons of color. That's why I have no desire for a Lamarks Angel (even though they're ref safe). There's nothing to them!
And SuperFishFan...
Nice. What's sad is that there's definatly people that would think you were serious aout the trigger! lol. Thank god I have at least some experience!
