6 line and mystery wrasse?

[JW65]

I am going to be moving the contents of my 65 into a 125 and I have a 6 line wrasse that is about 2 inches. I am really wanting a mystery wrasse but I heard they might fight with each other. My question is if I put them in at the same time in the 125 will I have a chance at them not bothering each other?

I had both in a 120. They didn't bother each other at all. That was just my experience though.

I had a sixline kill a newly added mystery wrasse in my 600g tank. I thought the tank would be big enough with a footprint of 8'x3' and 500 lbs. of LR but the sixline would chase the mystery wrasse around and around until he finally killed it. If you add them at the same time you might have better results but I wouldnt try it. Most sixlines are just nasty.

Most sixlines are just nasty.

Absolutely. Mystery wrasses can also be problematical with shrimp, fairy, flasher wrasses.

Thanks for all the help. Is there another cool wrasse that will be ok with a 6-line?
