I am looking for some stocking ideas for fish that would work with my 50.3 peninsula reef tank.

Current stock:
2 gladiator clownfish
1 Royal gramma


Future stock list:
2 gladiator clownfish
1 Royal gramma
1 shrimp goby (not sure if I want a yasha or something else)
1 pistol shrimp
1 Tomini tang if it won't be a terrible idea

and that is where it ends, I am not sure if I want to get some kind of wrasse or really what I want to do with the fish stocking as a whole. I would like to maybe do a wrasse if it could work. Attached is a pic of my tank.

i love my six line wrasse, some people have bad luck with them being aggressive though so maybe add last if you go that route. Did you make a type, or are you planning to have 4 clowns and 2 grammas total? I wouldn't recommend that in a tank this size

5 green chromis
1 mandarin dragonet
1 bristle tooth tang

tomini is another good alternative as long as there is swimming space.

I like Blennys.

Bi-Color or Starry would look nice in your rock work.

Little too small for a tang in my opinion long term as the tomini gets 6 inches adult size, maybe look at a dwarf angel? Beautiful fish, especially the coral beauty!

I love the goby and pistol shrimp interaction, but that coral on the sandbed will get bulldozed.
