    I do not think you are going to find any Tangs, or Triggers suitable for a 30 gallon tank
    and even though you can see them small in the pet shops, they are not ideal residents for that sized aquarium in many peoples opinions

    dwarf angels I do not recall but again I think tanks of over 30 gallons are suggested for most if not all of those species

    Butterflies in general require larger tanks than that also

    so on your list above clowns are about the only appropriate fish for that sized tank IMO

    my advice would be check out species suitable for nano aquariums
    Live Aquaria web site has a section for fish suitable for nano aquariums up to 30 gallons
