72 Gallon Bow Front Stocking list

Looking for thoughts or advice on stocking my 72 gallon
I have
2 A. Ocellaris Clowns
1 Yellow clown goby
I want the below for sure
Diamond Goby
Golden Headed Sleeper Goby
Midas Blenny
Lawn mower Blenny
And id like some other fish but not sure below is a list of fish i am thinking about...
Other colored clown goby
firefish- purple
dwarf angel
anthias?
Blackcap basslet- too mean?
copperban butterfly? Not sure always wanted one never tried.
neon dottyback- too Mean?
Sixline
I know the tank is really to small but was thinking maybe a tang... lol I can get them small about the size of a quarter.
I been doing saltwater for over 10 years so please dont jump on me just a idea list and thoughts would be great.
Right now the tank is fish only with live rock. Might end up doing some corals but if i do they will be easy soft stuff.
Thanks

Other colored clown goby - Great personable addition
firefish- purple - watch out for carpet surfing
dwarf angel - Possibly
anthias? - not a good candidate for densely stocked tanks
Blackcap basslet- too mean? - if there are enough rocks their territory is not that big
copperban butterfly? Not sure always wanted one never tried. - Too delicate IMO
neon dottyback- too Mean? - I would advise against adding both this AND the Basslet
Sixline - good choice
I know the tank is really to small but was thinking maybe a tang... lol I can get them small about the size of a quarter. - It's not a small tank but you will have a crowded tank if you add more fish and that will increase the stress for everyone

I had always heard how horribly mean the neon dottybacks were and I was nervous about putting one in my tank. I purchased tank raised neon dottyback and he has been a model citizen, never one sign of aggression. I have heard some people say they have had much better luck with the tank raised not being so aggressive. I really liked him, had great personality, moved around the tank alot (had to be into everything), and added alot of color. My husband just put one in the QT so we will see if we got lucky twice.
