Thinking about 6 line in 30 gallon

[bigwavereef]

I've been tempted to get a sixline for my 30 long setup. I've been reading up on them for awhile but have a couple questions but I'm open to other suggestions as well. I don't want to overstock my tank and I'm a little worried about behavior once these fish are all fully grown so maybe I shouldn't get another fish....Here's my setup, help a fellow reefer out.


96 watt HO t5's
2 Koralia powerheads (425 & 1050)
Red Sea Prizm Skimmer
Topfin 10 & Topfin 20 Hob


Fish
2 Green Chromis
1 Tomato Clown
1 yellow clown goby.

Inverts
1 Cleaner Shrimp
3 hermit crabs (2 zebra 1 blue leg)
4 Cerith snails
1 nassarius snail (had 2 but one didn't make it)
1 asteria snail


If there is room for the wrasse he'd be the last added so hopefully that'd quail some aggression. Any suggestions would be great Needs to be reef safe as I have a few sps frags & other soft corals

a sixline can get very aggressive and kill other fish. 30 gallons is the least i would put one in. i would try another fish like a firefish or orange lined cardnill

Bump, any others:bounce3:

get a pink streaked wrasse or a Yellow coris which is what i have instead just like the six line but without the attitude

 

[bigwavereef]

I already have a yellow clown goby so I'd pass on the yellow corris but the pink streaked wrasse does look pretty sick.

So is the consensus that I have enough room for another fish?

I was considering a red scooter blenny , but the wrasse's just seem like they'd be more social and out swimming.

Large chance the clown will turn into a large female and kill everything, tomato clownfish can sometimes be "peaceful".

 

[bigwavereef]

My clown has already been turning into a female but is very friendly. usually stay's to it's corner sometimes swims out, but doesn't mind when the chromis or goby are literally chilling next to him/her time will tell on that though I'm not worried

i have one in my 20 and was never mean to anything but the copipods and britle worms

This thread is classic blind leading the blind. :hmm4:

It could work, imo. If you get rid of the chromis.

I had a sixline in my 34 and eventually had to take him out because he was fighting with all my other fish

:hammer: Heavy hitter weighs in, thanks! So a pink line wrasse would probably be a better fit down the line...less size less aggression. I'm not looking to run out and get a fish tomorrow just because I can...though it's awfully fun to get new stuff as most of you are aware I'm sure

Perhaps a possum wrasse?
