Question Whats your top 5 fish??

I'm having trouble making a fish list so I am asking the question from you fellow reefers for some help!! I need your top 5 lists.

I have so far:

yellow tang
tail spot blennie
two perc clowns
two yellow gobies
lawn mower blennie
two cleaner shrimp

My tank is 200g 5x30"x26 tall no corals yet.Thanks in advance and look forward to your lists.

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.

For affordable fish??? Heheehhehe.

~ Yellow Coris Wrasse and/or Melanurus Wrasse and/or Grey Head Wrasse (all good scavengers and eat flatworms and bristleworms)

~ Fairy/Flasher Wrasses are colorful and get along nicely in groups provided there is only one super male.

~ Yellow Headed Jawfish are entertaining and attractive fish.

~ Firefish are colorful and active. I love Purple Firefish. Kept singly though.

~ Majestic Angels are as reef-safe as Angels get, but not really considered reef-safe. Love them though, gorgeous fish.
