Can I add these wrasses?

Currently have a shallow 100g tank (6 foot long) with this stocking:

Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus solorensis)
Purple firefish
Midas blenny
Mandarin
Banggai cardinal
Pair of false perculas
Bellus angelfish
Lyretail Anthias
Green/blue chromis

I'm looking to add a few more fish to complete the stocking list. Specifically I want to add some more wrasses. I wanted to add a melanarus wrasse and a red-lined wrasse. Also looking to potentially add a flasher wrasse.

I guess my question is whether or not the melanarus, red-lined, flasher, and fairy wrasse will get along. My plan is to add all the new wrasses together, hoping that they will get along and that the existing fairy wrasse wont get aggressive.
 
I assume you are going to have some sort of lid or top.. if not all wrasses, firefish and midas will be on the floor very shortly, especially in a shallow tank.

What are the tanks demensions. The mix should work
 
They should get along fine, but I'd worry they would out compete the mandarin for food. Halichoeres wrasses are known for munching on copepods all day long.
 
Thanks for the replies.

Yes I've got a lid. And yes I've realized that wrasses jump. While doing a water change, my fairy wrasse jumped onto my suspended radions, bounced over to the other bank of lights and then back into the water.

The dimensions are something like 60 x 18 x 24

As for out competing the mandarin, I've got it eating frozen foods and my tank is loaded with pods, has a refugium, and I keep a side culture of pods.
