let me start by saying, if this is your first aquarium be careful of the anthias, they can have particular dietary needs
and they generally should n thave more than one per tank, if you do add more than one, add all of them at once,
but go slow in stocking your other fishes
you probably aren't overloadin, but the achilles shoud get a larger home
what type of substrate fo you have?
do you have a skimmer?
WELCOME

Jawfish like at least 3" + dsb.
The anthias can be hard to keep= need alot of meaty foods dialy. Make sure if you get them from a lfs they keep them for 2weeks. IMO they can shipp bad. You make pay for them just let them hold them just to make sure. Achillies tank they need bigger tanks I woudn't put on in under a 6' tank IME. They are harder to keep tangs just like powerder blue. I would only keep a Zebra...species tang in a small 75g like a yellow, purple. You could even get a kole. Smaller ones. If you want healty fish disease free do crowd them and stress them out. The 6line wrasse can be aggressive if you get one get it last. But they will compete with the anthias for food. Whic isn't good either. I would take my time and research alittle more. JMO
