Different wrasses not compatible?

[TCU Reefer]

I have a ruby-headed fairy wrasse in my 215g now. If I add a 6 line or 4 line, will it pick on the new comer? He's about 3-4" long.

dont add a 6-line! they will be fine with eachother, but the 6-line will prohibit any small newcomers (ESPECIALLY wrasses - mainly fairies)

4-lines are a little less aggressive, but same problem.. Mysteries are the nicest of those species and can be housed with fairies.

rethink adding a 6-line. you will regret it!

zemuron114 seems to know of what they speak - avoid the hexataenia.

Fairy wrasse | 6 line
Pearl | Swine
Penthouse | Outhouse
Phar Lap | Radish

6 lines might be fine for some applications, but I just don't know what those might be. They are a BAD choice to try to mix with fairies.

Hope this helps...

I agree on the sixline. My sixline started nipping on my possume wrasse, so im getting rid of the six line.
