Please help me pick some livestock

[lmfbs]

I live in New Zealand so our stock availability is massively reduced compared to the US, so some things just aren't available.

I have a waterbox 130.4 (display volume 96g, the aquascape is relatively minimal, but with hidey holes for fish).

Current stock:
8x trochus snails
2 x perc clowns
1 x neon cleaner goby

Current corals:
1 x acan
lots of zoas
GSP
2 x torches

Planned stock:
lawnmower blenny
mandarin dragonet (I'm waiting for a healthy pod population)
anemone of some kind

Planned corals:
almost all LPS


I'd quite like a sandsifter of some kind, and some sort of mid-water swimmer. I'm not in a hurry to add stock, but I would like to have a plan so if I see a fish come up, I can know whether it will fit in my larger plan. Generally speaking, interesting fish with a function are more my jam.

Thanks lots of your help in advance!

I think a tank without a tang (when enough space) is not the same. They are beautiful, interesting to watch and eat algae. You could choose a tomini tang or bristle tooth tang.

It will also be a nice centerpiece fish. Bigger than the rest but not too big.

Love this idea, bristletooth tangs are really interesting!

Agreed, when I get a similar sized tank I want a tang for algae control, copperband butterfly for aptaisia control (maybe), lawnmower or starry blenny for algae, transfer my mandarin dragonette, Springeri damsel school of five for pest control, an assessor for funny swimming patterns since they swim sideways and upside down, naoka wrasse for similar reasons since they dive bomb, a fairy wrasse of some sort, a cleaner fish of some sort (wrasse or pair of sharknose gobies), pair of shrimp gobies and Randall pistol shrimp for the sand sifting along with strawberry conch/tiger conch, and maybe some sort of sand sleeping fish as well for sifting, either flashing tilefish or a wrasse.
