So my 90 gallon is currently cycling and I am very impatient, but patience is a virtue and an important one in this hobby.

Help me pass the time by helping me with my stocking list!

It will be FOWLR for AT LEAST a year as I build up the courage to dive into corals, and even then, very minimal for awhile probably just to sort of add a pop to the tank. Here are some fish I have really been eyeing, obviously not all will go in the tank, this is just my list to narrow down. Must haves in bold at top! All thoughts and other suggestions welcome, the good the bad the ugly!

Flame Angel
Yellow Watchman
Clown Goby
Pistol Shrimp
Pair of Clowns
Pair of Pajama Cardinals
Fairy Wrasse
Harlequin Tusk(maybe, but really want one)

Jewel Damsel
Foxface of some kind
Kole Yellow Eye Tang
Bristletooth Tomini Tang
Filefish
 
Im not sure a jewel damsel would be great, as they can be very mean, get kinda big and ugly too. I think looking into the genus chrysiptera would be a better fit for damsels, like the starcki etc.

Id maybe stick to one bristle tooth tang species too, in that size of tank. Though someone who keeps them will maybe give better insight to that.

Right, this list is definitely not all going in my tank, just the list to narrow down! (: Yes I have heard that jewel damsels get ugly when they mature, but gosh are they beautiful juveniles!

Oh sorry i missed the bit where you said they arent all going in.
I do agree they are very pretty as juveniles though
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding
