to wrasse or not to wrasse

[vanceny]

I have a six line that is doing great in my 30gal, I will be switching everything over to a 90gal soon and wondering if I should keep him. I ask this because I know that its great for keeping pests at bay but I'm also not seeing any pods in the display. There are tons in the fuge. I even check the tank in the middle of the night. The tanks been up for 4 years. Anyone have any experience with keeping a six line and a large population of pods together?

Thanks.

6line are fast and will catch and eat alot of small rock pods. My concern is they can be mean to even larger timid fish and if he's in first he might harrass fish you get later.

I've never had any problems with him in terms of his other tank mates but I guess the concern would be for later additions. Are the benefits worth my pod population? Is there a real benefit to having a pod population in the display? If there is a mandarin in my future then I will need to get rid of him.
