Hello all,

I'm finishing up the stocking on my new 112-gallon Innovative Marine Lagoon and would appreciate some feedback.

Current fish:
  • Tomini tang
  • 2 ocellaris clowns
  • Oreni tilefish
  • Chalk bass
Planned additions:
  • Yellow coris wrasse
  • Foxface
  • Rainford's goby
  • Midas blenny
To round out the stocking, I'm considering either a Candy Basslet or a Swissguard Basslet.

For those who have kept both:
  • How do their temperaments compare?
  • Is one noticeably bolder or more visible than the other?
  • Any concerns keeping either with a chalk bass?
  • Any feeding differences or long-term husbandry considerations?
For reference, the tomini tang has shown essentially zero aggression so far, and the tank has plenty of caves and rockwork.

I'm also open to any other interesting fish suggestions that would complement this stocking list without overcrowding the tank.


Thanks!
