6 line wrasse + dottyback in a 25g?

Hi all,

Appreciate your thoughts. I have a 25g build that will be LPS and SPS. It's bare bottom. Would a 6 line wrasse and one dottyback be wrong?

Thanks in advance.

A gamble IMHO. Both can be relatively aggressive and individually would appreciate a tank larger than 25 gallons.

both fish are very aggressive and would probably fight to the death in a small tank like the one you are talking about because there is not enough room for territories to be safely far enough apart a bit bigger tank and they would be fine i would recommend at least a 4' long tank.

Iv'e heard of 6 lines and dottybacks not getting along, to the point of one killing the other off. In the confined space of a 25 you'd more than likely have some issues. I would definitely say one or the other...

Thanks for the input.

Any SPS-safe recommendations as an alternative?
