Question regarding mixing a Melanarus Wrasse with a 6 Line Wrasse

[KMS.Kyle]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with adding a 6 line wrasse to an established tank with a larger melanarus wrasse (3-4 inches)

I'm hoping because hes bigger he won't get bullied but I'm also worried after reading/seeing some talk of them attacking / killing firefins (and I have one - though I think he'd hide in his cave before getting killed)

thank you!

Note: this would be my last fish addition to my tank.

Hmm after much reading I think I've decided against this.. I'm too worried.

six lines can be quite small, if it is fully grown I don't see that there would be a problem.

I added a small sixline to my 120 gal. tank a year ago. my adult melanurus has never bother it.

Both are fairly aggressive fish eventually they might fight but you may get lucky

The 6 line will kill or stress it to death
