Six Line Wrasse and Flame Fairy Wrasse in Same Tank?

[vuqchu]

Curious to see if anyone has done this before and have them both coexist in the same tank peacefully. Thanks

They might coexist for awhile, but why risk a beautiful $150 fish with a little $10 SOB

Exactly. And male flame fairy wrasses tend to be initially shy and easily intimidated.

I think it depends on the size of the tank and how they are added. Such as the flame before the six line.

Perhaps for a shrt while and in a truly enormous tank, but sixlines always show their true colors in relatively short order, again as albano said "Why risk a $150 fish for a $10 sob."

I agree. Six Lines often get very aggressive with other wrasses and similarly shaped fishes.

Absolutey true even if they are smaller. Dont keep a six line and you can have any fish you choose.
