Hi,
I started a new 100g tank 2 month ago, this tank is going to be a fish only tank.
I wold like to hear your opinion about the population i want to have.
1. one medium blue face triger
2. one medium niger triger
3. one small hippo tang
4. one medium-large yellow zabrazuma
5. two small-medium perculla
The above list is a must.
I'd like to know if it is ok to add the following:
three Heniochus Black & White Butterflyfish
one adult large angel.
Thanks for you response.

you are going to be pushing your bioload to its limit, too many fish, probably even for your "must" fish. Sorry, I know that is not the answer you want. General rule is take their adult size and add up all the inches and it should be an inch per 5g. That is not an exact science, but a good rule. You also have to figure that fish from what I have read, do about 90% of their growth in the first 10% of their life.

yeah, I'd agree. Your must list is even a little big. Those are some pretty big fish.
What is the length of your tank? 4 foot right? If so I would drop the hippo.
