6 Line Wrasse fish compatibility

[TheORKINMan]

Just wondering what these things tend NOT to get along with.

It was the last fish I added in my 30 long and I added it last week in with a Pajama Cardinal, a Coral Beaty Angel and a Rainford's Goby.

My LFS was surprised it hadnt gone crazy and killed the Rainford's Goby yet. It hasn't had any problems so far. It cleans the other fish and even shares a cave with the Rainford's at night.

Do these tend to go crazy as they get older? When I get a bigger tank I was thinking of getting a Lubbock's Wrasse or maybe some sort of Fairy or Flasher Wrasse. Do Six Lines tend to squabble with similar species?

Yes they do and from what I have read are able to bother peaceful, small fish.

Mine grew very fast and killed a mandarin goby and peppermint shrimp in a matter of minutes.

Mine seems to be peaceful (2nd one I've had). However, I did find my McCosker's on the floor when I woke up in the morning, and something tells me that the 6-line had something to do with it...

I must have wussy 6 lines.... I've had 2 in my aquapod (1st one died in the move from MI to NJ) each time they were the 2nd fish in the tank (little green banded goby was first) and after I added a clown and a firefish... my 6 lines have never bothered anything that wasn't a pod or bristleworm... my clown is actually the meanest fish in the tank and will chase my 6 line.

Sounds like your six lines have their own personality.

i've had my 6-line for 2 1/2 years . he was the first fish that i added. i have 3 pajama cardinals and i had a diamond goby for abt a year and the 6-line didn't bother any of them. i have a twin spot hogfish that chases the 6-line around.

I have 6line with 2 perc. clowns and Yellow watchman he doesnt bother anyone. He was just picking on Watchman when i put watchman in but after couple hours he leave the goby alone. I really like my 6line he only bothers worms
