So I am seeking some advice on fish we can have in both our 75 gallon tanks(180g total), these tanks are plumbed together attached are two images of said tanks, with the aquascapes in them, my fiancé would like to decide all the fish that goes into the left hand side tank that currently has a light above it, while I get to decide the right tank. Both of these tanks will be mixed reef tanks and are currently up and cycling. My fiancé would like possibly a butterflyfish and a rabbitfish and would like 1 tiny tang(keep in mind the tangs we get locally are only like 1 inch big) and also some wrasses and maybe some other fish. I would also like a similar setup on my side of my tank but we want both sides to be very different. And we are also looking for compatibility with all of these fish as well. Now the fish we already have are as follows with pictures of them below:

As the tanks are next to each other and both of you will get to enjoy looking at them, I would do 2 very different tanks, one FOWLR and one reef, or one with macro algae and one with corals. That will let you get a wider range of fish you would both enjoy.
You could also do one peaceful and one more agressive tank, or one with mainly small fish, one with larger fish but less of them.
Finally some people do different geographic area, caribean, pacific, red sea, you really have a lot of possibilities.
It should be lots of fun.

They will be two very different tanks but I am limited to putting all of the fish I have pictured into both tanks, so that will change the stocking list but I’m trying to see what dwarf angelfish are compatible what wrasses are compatible as well as butterflies and rabbitfish and tangs, for example my parents have a female bellus angelfish I absolutely adore and I also love the blue girdled angelfish as well

Also does anyone have any ideas on reputable online places for buying fish? does anyone have experience with buying from biota or other retailers? Some of the LFS don’t get a huge variety of fish in and don’t really have a choice on what they get
