Looking for some advice and guidance on a stock list for an Innovative Marine Lagoon 50 AIO.
The goal would be to put primarily Utility / Utilitarian fish surrounding my show pieces.

Current Stock List
- 2 (Spawning Pair) True Percula Clownfish
- 2 (Spawning Pair) Green/Blue Mandarin Dragonet
- 3 Saltwater Converted Mollies
- 1 Biota Neon Cleaner Goby

Potential Ideas?
- Kole OR Convict Tang (Planning to rehome to 150g once grown out)
- Blue Star Leopard Wrasse
- Chalk Basslet (Aggressive so maybe not)

This will be a High End Softy / LPS Show tank
Trying to stay within 10 fish MAX

I wouldn't keep a tang in that size tank for very long.
A leopard wrasse really needs a 3ft tank so I'd do a possum wrasse instead.
Chalk basslet are not very aggressive and can be kept in groups. A under appreciated fish for me.

Other suggestions are Cardinal fish, a blenny, a pink streak wrasse, or a firefish.

Thanks for getting back to me! Very true, the tang was more of me pushing my luck but definitely too small. Hence all suggestions right now

I guess I can keep looking around to see if there is anything that catches my eye.

Tail spot blenny, pygmy whitespot filefish, blue/green chromis, yellow clown goby, shrimp gobies, cardinalfish, etc would all work well with that list.
