I would like to add another Wrasse or two to my tank and now have a Six Line Wrasse and I am afraid he wouldn't take kindly to a new Wrasse for a tank mate. Anyone have experience with a Six Line and other Wrasses?

I had a 6 line in my 20G for a year or so then he was moved up to the only wrasse in my 120G for several months. I then decided to try a leopard wrasse. BAD IDEA, the 6 line chased the leopard wrasse till he could not run away anymore. Luckily I scooped him out as soon as he was out of gas and threw the leopard wrasse into the macro tank where he lived happily ever after... I figured the larger leopard wrasse, with competently different colors and body shape would be ignored or be able to hold his own. Lets just say I figured wrong.

Never had a six line but have mixed several different wrasses together with no problems.

Get rid of the 6 line... They are a PITA!!!!!

I thoroughly agree with it being a PITA and it needs to go, but dread the thought of trying to catch it with a tank full of SPS and live rock. Maybe I need to head to the shop and build a miniature spear gun. :lolspin:
