That list looks OK, although I wouldn't add the tang. ANd make sure you don't get the mandarin until your tank has been established for a year or so.

They are picky eaters, and will only eat pods that are in your tank. It helps if you have a refugium where the pods can grow with no harm, and then be transfered into the display tank.

IF, and that's a big IF... you're lucky, you MIGHT find a mandarin at the LFS that is eating prepared food. If the store tells you that it is eating prepared food, ask them if they will feed it while you are there, and you can make sure that he will eat.
