Christmas wrasse compatibility?

[dheinze]

Hi everyone,

I have had a sixline wrasse as the lone fish in my tank for about 5 months. I bought a christmas wrasse, and the sixline tore him up pretty bad. I removed the sixline to the quarratine tank; I think I might need to find him a new home as I don't really want all my new fish shredded....But now I'm wondering if the christmas wrasse might be similarly aggressive. I would like to add a blue flasher and fairy wrasse in the future, but I don't want them to fight all the time. Anyone out there have experience with mixing these fish?

Thanks!!
Dar

christmas wrasse are not as aggresive as a six line (they can be really aggresive). I would put the flashers/fairy wrasse in first then ad the christmas wrasse after they are established.

almost forgot,
ditch the six line if you want to keep fairy/flasher wrasses!
