Will I be sorry? 6-line Wrasse

[SecretiveFish]

So I got a sixline wrasse, healthy as can be, but one of the occupants of the tank I got him for are not interested in sharing. Even after trying an acclimation box for many days, it is just not going to happen.

The only place he can go is my 65g soft coral/LPS tank. The current residents are as follows: marine betta, Lubbrock's fairy wrasse, long nose hawkfish, ocellaris clownfish, and starry blenny. Would he work in here or most likely become a problem?

The other option is to re-home the fish, but if he has a good chance of working in the 65g, I would rather do that. Thanks!

Not likely to work with the lubbocki already present I'm afraid.

When I started out with this hobby, I tired 3 different 6-Line wrasses. All 3 were pure PITAs! So I am speaking on experience. Now I have heard stories of them being very peaceful. So it could be hit or miss.

Thanks! You both pointed out the concerns I have. I will not add him to my 65g, but maybe I will catch the fish in the other tank that did not want to share and put the wrasse in there instead...

I have a six line and it's perfectly behaved, mainly because it lives on its own. They are great fish in the right situation but limit what you can add quite a lot.
