in such a small tank I think you are pretty full. watch the bi-color psudo they can be aggresive. if you like the color of that fish i would take that one back and get a royal gramma much more social. you might get away with one more small fish like neon gobie or small sand shifter.

The fish you mentioned will either not do well in this tank due to their eating habits{mandarin and court jester} or potentially harass your other fish due to their semi-aggressive nature{hawkfish and sixline}. Frozen brine shrimp is virtually non-nutritious, a variety of foods would be better, and use mysis shrimp as a staple instead of brine shrimp. Never buy a fish that just arrived at an LFS, give them several days at least. Most diseases which are usually brought on by stress will manifest in the first few days.
