hmmm, it really depends on his personality. I just added my mystery into my 112 with a solar wrasse and a leopard wrasse. All three of them get along very well.

I use to have a six line wrasse then I added the mystery, the six line was beating him up I had to tear down the rock work to get the six line out. I'm going fish shopping this weeked. maybe a canary wrasse they are cheap and brilliant.

6 lines are aggressive. i'd go with any of the fairy wrasses like a solar or something. those are peaceful.

mystery wrasses can be kind of aggressive so you wouldnt be able to put any fairys at least thats my opinion...cube wouldnt give too much space may be lots of territory battles with the wrasses you put in with it.

I would say it just depends. Depends on the size of the mystery, how aggressive it is and also the size and aggressiveness of the other wrasse(s). of course, it is often hard to pre-determine these sorts of things. No six-line for sure. If it would be a fairy, it would need to be a larger fish, most likely a male.
