Grouping fish

[i cant think]

Okay, so I’m sure many of you will know I have recently gotten a 3’x16”x1’ tank. With this tank I plan to keep it looking slighting more natural in terms of fish. By this I mean less species and more numbers of the same species.
So far I have;
3 Pseudocheilinops ataenia
1 Macropharyngodon bipartitus
1 Stonogobiops yasha
1 Gobiodon acicularis
1 Discordipinna griessingeri

The fish I have that are singles were brought over from my Max Nano and I may pair them depending on how close to the end of their lifespan they are.
But for this tank I’m aiming for unusual groups of fish instead of the common ones such as cardinals.
So far what I want is;
Wetmorella tanakai pair *Must have
3 Trimma spp.
3 Eviota spp.

Other than that im not too sure. Obviously I’m wanting to stock it over the next few years as it won’t fit more than 4 small species in the tank as of now.

I like the blue eye cardinals and regular red eye pj cardinals. Looks like you'll have lots of wrasse and small dwarf gobies. I like the micro fish scene. Gonna be kool.

Yeah, I’m attempting to find everything as juveniles if they transition into males/females. However if they aren’t hermaphrodites then I’ll most likely try to find a bonded pair (or trio).

Definitely will look nice when it’s finished
Honestly, I think i prefer having the groups/pairs of the same species instead of one of each different species.

I have 4 vlamingii tangs.
5 brackish silver monos.
Was looking at adding more samuri candy stripe squirrel fish and or a group of flashlight or pilot fish.

I dig the golden pilot fish, but the get big, quick, lol. Had one in a fowlr a long time ago, it got to 6-7 inches long in a little more than a year of me having it (doubled in size).
