90 gallon stock list

On that site theres also a compatibility list that is helpful as well. What is this site that your planning on ordering your fish from?

[Kimmi7]

Oh I am not ordering for awhile and it was just a random site that came up after searching for saltwater fish lol. Its saltwaterfish.com

I know this is a lot of fish for a 90 thats why I asked what people think about the type of fish. As well most of the fish dont get over 3-4 inchs. I will for sure check out the site though, thanks

Thats an American site. It's best to support your LFS. There's a few in your city that are mentioned on here often. You most likely wont be buying all your fish at once but they will order what you like. Try to find a SW specialty store as opposed to the bigger chain stores that sell puppies and other pet stuff. Someone from the Edmonton area should be speaking up soon and reccomending a good store to visit. While there ask alot of questions and than come back here for a second or better yet several more opinions.

ok so is a blue hippo tang a blue tang? as on the link suggested I couldnt find a blue hippo tang but the blue tang looks the same as it.

It depend. A blue hippo tang is a blue tang, so is the powder blue, and there is also the purple tang which is blue, but they all require a larger tank than a 90 gallons, minimum 125 gallons, best is 200 gallons and up.

Ya the one site was completely off. Said it need min of 40-50 and that it doesn't get bigger then 4". So I guess that's out of the picture. Oh well.

A lunare wrasse will get way to large (10") and aggressive for a 90g. I had a 7" lunare wrasse in my 230g fowlr tank and he was aggressive.

I think the blue tang you're thinking of is also referred to as a hippo tang or regal tang. They get up a foot (12") in size, minimum of 180g.

A 90g is a bit small for tangs but if you really want a tang, a kole tang would be ok.

Tomini or Two-spot tang could also replace the Kole (same family of bristletooth tangs).

As for your wish list:

Yellow or canary wrasse (NOT lunare) is doable, but mine grew to about 5-6"
Dwarf Flame Angelfish - potentially non-reef-safe (any dwarf angel is a hit-or-miss) - perhaps look at Cherub angel (dwarf dwarf) which I've never had any problems with
nemo clownfish lol
starry blenny- algae eating? - some algae control
blue hippo tang - NOPE - too big and fast
flame hawkfish - Yes
cuban hogfish - Needs a 6' fowlr
pink square anthias - never found these to be hardy
purpleback pseudochromis - SKIP - would probably fight with orchid
ora fidmani-orchid pseudochromis - Usually great reef fish (probably stay just with one pseudochromis)
blue reef chromis - most LFS stock the green (not blue) chromis
banggai cardinal - great little reef fish
