I would change out the chromis for either Vanderbilts Chromis or Allen's Damsels. I have 18 Allen's Damsel in my coral tank and they hang around in the same area. Very beautiful fish.

I would recommend putting the two sailfins in as the last tangs and also at the same time due to their similar body shape. Another nice fish is the Orange Spotted Rabbitfish from Fiji.

Rich is right... I would also remove the pistol shrimp as it will drive you nuts. The Blue Spotted Jawfish are very cool too. I would recommend one of them over the Yellow Watchman but both are equally peaceful.

I wouldn't recommend the vanderbuilts, from my personal experience they are incredibly prone to ick and just die at the drop of a hat.

The chromis I have already, and being in Port Alberni means not a whole lot of options for selling/giving away. So that's the only reason I have them on the list. As they die off, I'll definitely look at the Vanderbilt as a replacement option. Unless I can find someone to take them with the bicolor pseudo chromis that is certainly not making the transition to the bigger tank.
I also have the yellow watchman goby and pistol shrimp. Yes, he does snap a lot, but after having him 3 years already, I'm used to him.

Any thoughts on the Wrasse I have listed? Any issues or suggestions for substitutions?
