Six Line

[Sea-nut]

I have a six line wrasse in my frag tank for last 2 or 3 years , I no longer need the frag tank. I am wondering if I could put him in my show tank ?
The problem is I have Mc cosker flasher and velvet multi color wrasse in the other tank. I need to know if this would be possible or the six line will kill the others.
Thanks.

You don't want to do that.

My 6 line was such a nasty bully that I eventually had to take him out of the tank and give him to a LFS. If I were you, I wouldn't risk it.

I'd agree with the above posters. I've kept sixlines over the years and all but one of them were terrors. Even when added last, it seems once they establish themselves, they become aggressive with other more passive fish.

I have mine with 3 mccoskers and a fairy And a royal gamma. None fight.

I put them all in same time. One day apart. And they have been getting along just fine

I agree.

That is a devil fish, avoid adding him at all costs to your display. Sooner or later he will beat and harrasse any new additions or wrasses in your display.

They only go after other Wrasses as far as I know.
I think the best thing to do is to keep the frag tank going. This little guy been with me for 7 or 8 years and I can not just get rid of him.
Thank you all very much for your help.

Six lines are not friendly fish. I wouldn't do it.

I've seen them go after all kinds of fishes, including some much bigger than they are.
