So recently my 250 gallon system was almost completely wiped out of fish due to a parasite, flukes ICH or Velvet (probably all three). So far, I have four fish left. A golden Pygmy Angel, a cleaner wrasse, deep water Caribbean snow bass and a Dracula goby. Out of the list below, I would like opinions on what would and wouldn't work. I am not getting all the tangs (in particular), just would two or three on the list.

Sohal Tang
Black Tang
Purple Tang
Yellow Scopas Tang
Blond Naso

Pintal Wrasse pair
Lunatus Wrasse pair
Flame wrasse trio
Claires wrasse pair
Katoi Wrasse pair
Trio of Lepoard wrasses

Pair of Moorish Idols

There's others but this is all I can think of right now.

Skip the prs and trios of wrasses. Wrasses don't form bonded prs as some other fish do, rather their genders are determined by social situations. In aquaria females often transition into males and males of the same species oftentimes will not coexist.

Of the tangs, 2 or 3 of any of those species should work.

I usually but wrasses in pairs, sometimes they both are male and usually get along. My new LFS I go to ordered me a new Yellow Scopas Tang. He looks great and is eating. I will pick him up and put him QT this week.
