I want to say thanks to @i cant think and @Slocke for the help and others in the deciding if a fish is right for you tank thread.
I plan on upgrading from my 17 gallon soon unless something comes up to an 80 gallon, 80 gallon 120x50x50 plans
Fish:
4x Yellow banded possum wrasse (1x Already in my nano)
1x Dragonface pipefish
1x Baby scooter blennies
Or
6x Yellow banded possum wrasse
Or any other combinations of these
Please suggest down below

2x Baby clown fish (Already in my nano)
1x Small lawnmower blenny (Already in my nano)
1x Pictus blenny
1x Yellow clown goby
1x Black clown goby
1x Yasha hase goby
1x Wheeler’s shrimp goby

Inverts:
6x Turbo snails (Already in my nano)
5x Nassarius snails (Already in my nano)
2x Bumble bee shrimp
2x Harlequin shrimp
10x Sexy shrimp
2x Small skunk cleaner shrimp (1x Already in my nano)
2x Candycane pistol shrimp
1x Peppermint shrimp (Already in my nano)
2x Fighting conch
1x Blue tuxedo urchin (Already in my nano)
4x Small pom pom crabs (1x Already in my nano)
1x Small bubble tip anemone (Already in my nano)

The idea of this tank is the possum wrasse are the stars of the tank and this whole tank is a nano tank as in only nano fish that are all completely peaceful and preferably don't get over 4" and even that is stretching the boundaries. Also, all fish need to be found in Indonesia otherwise they are not available here.
Please let me know if there are any other fish I could add/if I can add any other fish and your opinions about the pod eaters and the plan in total.
Thanks in advance to everyone who responds :)

i like the idea of a 4 yellowbanded possume wrasse and 1 pink streaked wrasse. other fish could be utilitarian fish designed for a purpose (or: eating algae, pests, etc)
Me too but there is only one for sale on the only site that sells saltwater fish here and its a 2days and 13h drive away and it would never survive shipping. Lawnmower blenny should help with algae a bit any other suggestions?

Same. Thats why I am so torn on getting six or 4 and two other pod eaters because I also love dragonface pipefish. I'll make sure to tag you in the build thread if all goes as planned.
have you thought of mixing different types? (White banded/Tanaka/Yellowbanded?) im trying to get my hands on a tanaka or white banded to try and pair with my yellow banded, not sure if it'll work yet though.

I was thinking that too and both yellow bands and white are available here but yellows are much more available plus I was worried about how there would be much more risk of aggression.

Actually I have taken a liking to Mandarins too now, could it be a possibility to have a baby of both?

yes but you either make sure to overstock your tank with pods, or get them eating frozen to avoid them running out of food

They eat frozen but will a 35 gallon refugium with chaeto, 3.5 liters of tigriopus and 500ml of copepods be enough to see the tank?
i would say so. would prefer to allow the pods time to reproduce prior to stocking the tank

There will be an unfortunate new addition to the stocking list, a "new" BTA. I just got home from holidays and the tank looks neglected and revolting, only 70% full, BTA just split probably from bad water parameters and stress (still sowing itself up) and my yellow banded possum wrasse looking so sickly I'm not sure it will be alive in the morning. I am very sad that the person I trusted to take care of my aquarium has not been taking care of it at all.

I am happy to say that my little yellow banded possum wrasse is doing ok but I did realize that my little guy is super small compared to any other possum wrasse that I can find, and I am not sure if its safe? All other juveniles that I can find are at least 1cm bigger.

That’s ok because I want too sure about the chromis. I think the two gobies will be fine, I’ll introduce on different sides and the clown should be ok. I’ll only add the scooter after a while if everything is going well and to plan.
