    Assuming size of the tank is adequate, and you add the sixline wrasse LAST, pick one single species of chromis instead of 3 different species to be safe.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Margarita snails never lasted more than a couple weeks in my tanks.

    With all those chromis you'll have some issues with them picking on each other eventually.

    I agree with Cheryl's recommendations 100%. Definitely stay away from the Sixline, and the tank is too small for the Rusty. Then just narrow your list down to 4-6 total and you should be good.
