Ok in stead of another angle and clowns how bout a copper band butterfly
Potters Angels are almost identical to a Coral Beauty and the Coral Beauty will beat on it, it is the more aggressive, hardier fish.
IMO, Potters angels are NOT reef safe and they're not a beginner fish by any means. I would steer clear of this fish. You're fairly new to the hobby and even experienced hobbyists have trouble with this fish. I've killed 2
Stick to one goby. I had a pair of yellow watchmen gobies in my 155, they were fine for months and then one just turned on the other and killed it. Gobies really should be kept singly unless you pay a fortune for an ORA certified mated pair, and IMO, that's a waste of money for a goby.
I would do ONE dwarf angel in a 90G. IMO, don't even attempt two dwarfs in anything less than 125G, or you're going to see some serious aggression. Yes, a Flame and a Coral Beauty can go together, but not in a small tank and although a 90G is not that small, it's too small for two dwarfs. The reason the Flame and the Coral Beauty have a better chance of going together is because they are different body shapes. I have both in my 155 and they get along great, but there was a lot of aggression in the beginning, but they have enough room to each have their own territory, something a 90G just does not offer.
The pair of gold stripe maroons would be fine, but make absolutely sure that you purchase them young (small) and together, if you try to add one later on, the other will more than likely kill it.
Your stock list is filled with aggressive fish and this can cause an issue, especially depending on how you add them. Dwarf angels are aggressive, Maroon Clownfish are very aggressive and SixLine Wrasses should be the LAST addition to the tank because of their aggressive behavior.
IMO, you're also not experienced enough for a Copperbanded Butterfly, they're very difficult to keep and most hobbyists loose them. They have a lot of eating issues and need established tanks. They're not that reef safe either if you're considering a reef. They also do best with peaceful fish, and your stocklist is anything but that.
My suggestion for a stock list based on what you've said you wanted(and this could be played around with a little):
2 clownfish (any type, just make sure they're the same)
1 dwarf angel (IMO the flame angel or the Coral Beauty is the safest bet)
1 SixLine wrasse (although I would suggest a more peaceful wrasse, like one of the Flasher/Fairy wrasses)
1 Yellow Watchmen Goby (or any goby really)
1 Kole Tang, or Yellow Tang, or FoxFace
1 BiColor Blenny
3 schooling fish such as Bangai Cardinals
this is a heavily stocked list, but it gives you some ideas and adjustments can be made. If you went with a stocklist similar to this, you'd need to add these fish slowly and in a proper order to avoid aggression.
