it would be the last wrasse that goes into your tank.

I have had mine for about 2 months now and have not had any problems. Very happy with him actually. : )

should say last fish. i have one hes a great fish. just doesnt like new tank mates.

I have one in each of my 2 tanks and neither one has ever bothered any other fish. Mine eat pellets and whatever else I offer, but spend most of the day hunting around the rocks for bugs. At night they sleep in a mucus cocoon, very interesting.

My sixline has been great, I think because the pair of dottybacks are much meaner than he is, so he's on the recieving end of bullying rather than him bullying around other tankmates...

I was suprised though that everyone left alone the two anthias that I added a month or so ago... Only the sailfin was interested, and he just swam around them observing...

Mines never been a problem. Other than the fact he decimated my entire copepod colony, I'm very happy with him.

NO LAST WRASSE_ none other will go in w/o being dead in a week.

My 6line picks on my fire fish goby. I was thinking of getting 2 more firefish to keep the one company. Strength in numbers.

I added a leopard wrasse to my tank about a month after the sixline and the two got along fine from the start. Maybe because the leopard is a bit bigger than the sixline, but I didn't have any trouble.

Sixlines are great. The only thing that I've had one pick on was a pep in my 26 bow. I think that was because of a) the tighter quarters and b) the pep shrimp was a late addition to get rid of some aiptasia.

I actually had a sixline wrasse that ate xenia! He decimated a cespitularia colony as well, and that was it for him. Wish I had known then how many people had trouble with xenia, I could have gotten a lot of money for him!

That is definitely the exception, though. No one else I know has has any trouble, except for some light bullying.

Torry,
That was definitely "The Six-Line that layed the Golden Eggs". You could've rented it out, I would've been a customer for sure.
