    I think all of the three fish you listed, diamond goby, starry blenny and mandarin are all at risk of starving in people's tanks due to specialized diets, you just don't want to make life easy for yourself, do you? :)

    I wouldn't put a mandarin in with a sixline in a tank that small, even if you have them both on prepared foods. The mandarin will still want to eat pods all day even if it gets one or two prepared meals a day. Switching them to prepared foods isn't a 100% thing that they will survive either.

    Have you looked at fairy/flasher wrasses? There are some nice peaceful ones that have great color and personality.

    putting a flasher (mcCosker) in with a sixline wont cause trouble? conspecifics and stuff like that?
