Trying to decide on final fish

[Dcal]

So in my 90 gallon I currently only have a convict tang, sf eel and yellow coris wrasse. I have an absurd amount of amphi/copepods and a flashlight at night it just looks like an infestation which is awesome to see.

I will be upgrading 2022 at the latest but ideally, I'd want something that could last a couple of years in the 90 in case something falls through

Heres my ideas:

1 or 2 Mandarins - Concerns are the eel (who literally just sits in her den and looks along with pods and feeding
Chocolate tang - Concerns are aggression with the other Acanthurus
A bunch of yt damsels to get a lot more movement - not really any concerns here
Harlequin tusk - a lot of concerns but just putting it out there
CB butterfly - concerns p much just feeding difficulties
Goatfish of sorts - not too many concerns
Pair of clowns

OR

Any combination of these options

Chocolate tang good natured
CBB Butterfly have gotten much easier to feed. Look for one at LFS that is eating
6 line wrasse will help with pod population.

From what I have seen I do not think the eel would eat the mandiran because they are poisonous (not to humans) and they would help a lot with the pods.

Love Mandarins!!

being you have all those pods, does your tank also have a healthy population of those tiny feather dusters?

I have one on hold. The last one I had was a good fish and eater. I had a sudden leak on a past 360g and lost most of the tank in tubs

no, vermatids don't have the feather.
like these.
copperbands love these and will feed on them while they settle in. getting them to eat frozen is easy.
also, if you ever get aiptasia in your tank, they eat those too.

if you decide on damsels, check out swallowtail damsels. fairly laid back.
