What To Buy: Mystery or Equisite Wrasse?

I'm going to order a few more fish for my 120 and am trying to decide on which wrasses I want. I already have a 6 line and am going to order a Melanarus. I'd like one more and can't decide whether to get a mystery or exquisite wrasse. Which one do you think would go best with my 6 line and Melanarus?
 
I think the exquisite would be the most likely to get along with the others, because the 6 line and mystery are very similar. Make sure your tank is covered really well to keep them in the tank.
 
I have a sixline and exquisite in my 180 together, with the exquisite being added after the sixline. They don't seem to notice each other, but I want to get the sixline out because he killed a couple lubbock's wrasses...

Give it time, the sixline will knock off any fairy or flasher wrasse
 
Sixlines are really one of the terrors of the sea by all accounts, there must be countless posts about them bullying and terrorising tanks all over the world. Maybe they should be renamed... must think of new cool name!

That's why I've been trying to trap him for the past month... He goes into the trap, but is clever enough to find his way out right when I'm trying to get the trap out of the tank. He's too smart for me.:o
 
Sixlines and anything is a bad combination. I had one that killed 3 Diamond gobies, a couple of blennies and an Exquiste Wrasse. I would get the sixline out before you add anything. I used a fish trap that had a door operated by a piece of fishline. When the sixline goes in drop the door. Don't feed your fish until you catch the sixline. Just put his favorite food in the trap sit close by with the fishline in hand. When he goes in drop the door. It might take a few days so be patient
