Okay to keep a 6-lined and 4-lined wrasse together?

[justin-branam]

i was wondering if it would be okay to keep a 6-lined and 4-lined wrasse together in my 75 gal reef. couldnt find anything saying if they would get aggressive towards each other. thanks.

Not a good idea. You may not find any info with those specific fish, but since they are the same genus and very similar looking, you can bet there will be issues

Lined wrasses are not good to mix - highly aggressive to other wrasses and many tankmates in general especially once they get established.

I agree. You'll probably end up with one wrasse in the end (whichever one is bigger at the start most likely).
