After you have run your tank fallow for a while, try Bangaii Cardinals. Try and get your hands on some captive bred specimens and breed them yourself. Bangaii's are a great choice for a tank of that size because they have a limited territory in the wild. They are also under great pressure from the hobby and will be extinct soon if we, as hobbyists, continue to buy wild caught Bangaii's. Breed Bagaii's and trade/sell them to other hobbyists on CR and at your LFS!

I think that would be an interesting tank,I don't want anything to aggresive and don't want anything that will out grow my tank,I did read that their brooding habits are like chilids which I used to have years ago,definetley do some thinking and research on them.thks

Yeah, their breeding habits are awesome, mouthbrooders like many African cichlids! I have been interested for a while but I think I have too many tanks going right now. I would like to set up a tank for them in the future. They're beautiful and interesting, and if our hobby leads to their extinction....some rules will change and they won't be in our favor! Good luck with your quest, maybe some day we can trade brood stock!

I'm a fan of having a decent sized tank full of smaller fish (ie gobies, blennies etc) rather than having larger ones. My 90 (with the exception of the foxface and the kole tang) will be stocked with fish who's adult size is no more than 4 inches.

100% the best way to go IMO.
Nano fish in a huge tank looks incredible.
