"sunrise dottyback
3-4 chalk basslets
tomini tang
copperband butterfly
peppermint basslet or peppermint hogfish
powder brown tang
bristletooth tang
bellus/watanabe angelfish"

Let's see. IMO, the Tomini or a Bristletooth would be fine, but the Powder Brown will probably fight to the death with your Powder Blue (my PBlue won't let anything in the tank that looks anything like it, even if the new fish is twice its size).

I really like the Bellus (especially female) and they are available occasionally, whereas Watanabes are rarely ever for sale.

Unless I get a Copperband from someone's tank, I think this is one species I'll try to stay away from.

Aren't Dottybacks supposed to be terrors in a tank for their size (other than the Orchid dottyback)?

Never had Chalk bass so no opinion on these.

In a 6' 180g, you should be able to keep quite a few more fish than in the 90g, so if chosen with care, you can shop for a few nice fish to add to your collection.
