Current stock (8 fish): 2 ocellaris clowns, 4 Dispar anthias, Royal Gramma, Tailspot blenny. Tank is ~100g with RFS-39 sump, Apex/DOS/skimmer, stable and mixed reef (few LPS/softies so far).

I want to keep aggression low and eventually add a mandarin, so I am avoiding wrasses that would compete for pods.

For my next edition I’m considering a Midas blenny or a tang(yellow, fox face?, tomini)

After that eventually a mandarin.

Questions for the community:
• Experiences with Midas and Tailspot blenny together?
• Kole or Tomini vs Yellow tang in a 100g, which worked better long-term?
• Any other peaceful utility fish I should consider that will not compete with a mandarin’s food source?

Thanks for any input!

Could go with some fairy and/or flasher wrasses. Mine eat from the water columns while my leopard, Halichoeres, pink streaks and Anampses decimate pods. Still got a mandarin and hoping it works out.
 
Yeah I was considering a foxface and was concerned about size. Also started looking into bristletooth tangs.
 
I’ve been reading foxface can pick on LPS?

Considering now:
Midas blenny
Kole tang
Tomini tang
One spot foxface
Yellow tang

Anything else to consider?
 

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