Hi All!

I have a 100g that currently has a pair of clowns along with a royal gramma. I was looking into adding some more fish and had a list I was wanting, was hoping to get some input if they would all be compatible together. Or if anyone had any suggestions on other fish to add. Would appreciate any input, thanks!

Stocking:
Pair of clowns (In the tank currently)
Royal Gramma (In the tank currently)

Goby x Pistol Shrimp
Melanurus Wrasse (Hoping they eat some of my red planaria)
Peppermint Shrimp (Aiptasia)
Foxface
Flame Hawkfish
Midas Blenny
 
Its a good start, except the foxface. It will get way too big for a 100g tank. You might be able to keep a young juvenile for a year or so, but then it will need to move to a larger aquarium. I have one that is about to outgrow my 120g.

A few others to look into -

Anthias are great and you can get a pair of them. My favorites are bartletts and lyretail.

Blue chromis are a nice splash of blue and you can try to keep a small harem of 4-5, though people have mixed success long term.

Firefish are always beautiful

Got it, that was the one I wasn't too sure about. And thanks for the suggestion! For the anthias pair is it usually best to do just 1 male and 1 female? And what're your thoughts on tangs? Would a tomini tang be a good fit?
 
You could add a yellow, white tail or tomini tang to help with algae as well. I'm big into utilitarian fish.
 
All i will say is that my midas blenny and gramma hate each other as they tend to live in similar parts of the tank, probably because they started in a 25 cube but now they are in my 70 i am sure they will be fine
 
I have also heard that the flame hawk and shrimp might not get on well if you get what i mean. Hawks tend to find that shrimps look delicious
