Shoaling fish discussion

With my upcoming 90gal I have been thinking as to how im gonna stock. I currently have a hippo, yellow eye kole, and a blue spotted watchman that will moved from the smaller tank. The two clowns will be moved to my sons nano. They will be replaced with two more clowns(varients of true or false percs). I do want to get some type of shoaling fish and originally was leaning towards a trio of bangaiis, or pajama cardinals. Then I started looking at the Chromis they had on Live Aquaria.

If I do Chromis I really want to stay away from the usual Blue/greens, but some of these particulary the Acares Midget http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/aquarium-fish-supplies.cfm?c=15+1634
And the Agile http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+1634+3148&pcatid=3148 caught my eye. I like the Blue Reef also. What are the the thoughts on Chromis in general. I know they are Damsels at heart right? Also what other suggestions does everyone have for some shoaling types in a 90gal. Thanks everyone.
 
a friend has the blue reef chromis & they POP much more than you'd think. I figured they'd lose their coloration, but 2 years going strong same deep deep blue.
 
it's hard to mimic the shoaling aspect in fish that looks so amazing. That stated 3 fish will not really "shoal" effectively. I think as they mature you would just get a pair and a third wheel.
