Would it work?

 

[crvz]

Sure, a fish only I assume? I'm not terribly familiar with those butterfly fish, and the cardinals may be food more than a tank inhabitant, but otherwise it would be alright.

 

[SteveJakubiec]

FOWLR.

Um, yeah, what would most likely eat those cardinals? I would really like a schooling fish, not only because they look nice, but they're usually small and can eat the bits of food that my fish miss.

Would the sailfin tang be ok with the yellow?

 

[goldenfamaliy]

Go with some chromis, if they do get eaten, they are probably cheaper than the cardinals.

Well the Orange Lined Cards are about impossible to get here lately. I ordered 12 and had the store quarantine them. Not one lived, they are terrible shippers. I guess if you like the chromis, run with them. Personally after having mine for several years, I think they are really boring They may actually shoal a little in your tank due to the other slightly aggressive fish.

1-Manilla Puffer or Dwarf Fuzzy Lion

 

[crvz]

The eel is what's a risk of eating the chromis, and the grouper (though now not on your list) would be suspect as well. The lion, again, is a risk.

[WinnipegDragon]

Yeah, that Eel is the biggest concern. You might have to go with something smaller, like a Golden Dwarf Moray if you want the Chromis to survive.

Watanabe's are awesome, but good luck finding a pair!

 

[crvz]

I'm not familiar with that butterfly, and a quick google search didnt yield anything. Does it go by another name?
