Default Fish recomendations for my 75 cube

Not to sure what I want to put in my cube tank. I have a pair of true perks that are in QT right now that are going in for sure. Other than that I am not sure.
I have a lot of flow and am running a 3200 gal Dart already lost a cleaner shrimp on the intake of that so nothing to small. I also I have no sand and it is rimless so no jumpers or diggers.
I really want a trigger but don't like the upturned mouth ones. I was thinking of a clown or Picasso but I have Clams.
Suggestion's welcome.

A clown trigger would probably be pretty mean to your other fish in that size of tank. You might get lucky with a Picasso but there is a chance he would try to eat your clams.

I love dwarf angels and blennies.

Tail spot blenny


Midas blenny


Multicolour angel

If you can't decide, I will buy your tank from you

Fishoholic that first one looks really nice thats an option. That last one looks like it is really sad.
Leah I am sure I can come up with something.

Pygmy angels (mated pair would be awesome) or wrasses (McCoskers, Lineatus, 4 Line's are nice too).

Could try a shoal of Anthias too...

Default Purple Fish

Pseudochromis fridmani is a great fish with personality. It can be shy but rarely aggressive.

I'll second the midas blenny and Pseudochromis fridmani. You could also go with a royal gramma instead of the Pseudochromis fridmani, but I wouldn't do both. I'd be carefull with pygmy angels due to your corals and clams, and the wrasse's are all jumpers. Your tank is pretty small for a shoal of anthias, but a single fathead sunburst anthias would work. Bangaii cardinals would work nice as well if you like them.

My daughter likes the flame hawks maybe one of those and I am still debating to get that Picasso trigger or maybe a small frog fish. The Anthia's are out I don't have a lot of swimming room and all those Wrasse type fish are jumpers.
A royal gamma is an option but then no small frog fish. (My clowns are larger bought them at JL someone brought them back)
Angels are a possibility I don't have LPS in there but they might like clam like that trigger.

you're right, I didn't notice that before. I just like the colouration of the muticoloured angels.

here's a better pic of one


I also have a tail spot blenny, they have great personalities
