Hey everyone, I have a 60 gallon frag tank that is the temporary home to a few too many tangs. Luckily, all of them will be moved to my new 150 gallon display soon.

Want suggestions for a stocking list for my 60 gallon (2x4x1) frag/growout system. I could go with the cliche "6 line wrasse and a bristletooth tang".

I'm looking for recommendations for utility fish that are also a little more pleasing to the eye, but will consider the basic utility fish if I really think thats the best option.

Possible options, for pest control and algea conrol, wouldn't get everything, just listing out some options.
Fairy Wrasse
Convict Tang
Purple Tang
Sailfin Tang
Melanarus Wrasse
Some variety of damsel

Id say six line, lawn mower blenny, and springeris damsels. Not too many as you don't want it to be stocked as much but things that are good to have. Springeris and six line eat pests and the lawnmower eats algae
