Herbivore for a Tang Community

Well this is waht i started out with http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/fo...74#post1901374

but as i researched xenos i found they are carnivores? and i was wondering what are some herbivores that i could get for this tank like a xeno(sand dweller)?

A lot of cichlids are omnivores, the only herbivore cichlid that I know of in Tanganyika are tropheus.

The link is not working what is the other stock mates. Omnivores would work fine as long as they can not fit the other fish in their mouths. Just because they can eat meat does not mean they eat fish. They may eat snails or shrimp and such.

aren't some of the goby cichlids herbivores as well?

Eretemodes cyanosticus (spelling?) is an herbivore fish that doesn't get too big, and they're really cool I think.

I am hoping to get some of those soon!
