if you don't plan to put other wrasses or weaker fish in the future, then a 6line is perfect for ampipod/bristle worm control even in a nano tank.

what would be considered a "weaker" fish... right now i have an ocellaris, ywg in the tank, and a fire shrimp in QT... i was thinking about getting either a firefish, some type of pseudochromis, or rainfords goby in the future... should i take a chance with a mandarin? or only if it is eating frozen...

I have a sixline and it wiped every pod visible out in about a week! I have mine with a Yellow coral goby and they don't pay any attention to each other but I wouldn't add anything more then that if even that.

My rainfordi goby did the same thing. He pretty much wiped out the whole pod population in a couple days.

I doubt a rainfordi has a big enough mouth for large ampipods like a 6line can. I think you should be good but as long as you add the 6line in the end.

went ahead and picked up a sixline today....he is really nice looking...i think he will be a better choice than a mandarin....
