Orange Lined Cardinal Fish

Would like to add a small school of these fish to my established tank. Current inhabitants are Hippo, Sailfin Tang, Candy Hog, and a Rabbit Fish.

Will the new Cardinals survive if introduced to this tank. 265 gal.

TIA

I don't see any issues with your other inhabitants. However these fish will not school and usually only shoal at night. Still, they are very nice and once acclimated, very hearty. Shipping may result in some mortality, so over order the number.
