Adding a Six Line

[Techie_]

I'm thinking of adding a Six Line Wrasse to my tank, I know my current livestock is compatible, but what are your guys experiences?

I have a bare bottom tank and I would like to add a wrasse.

They can be nasty little buggers.

They are very aggressive fish! I would look at a Flasher(Paracheilinus) or Fairy(Cirrhilabrus) wrasse before a Pseudocheilinus. The Paracheilinus and Cirrhilabrus family of fish are very colorful and active. JMO

I had a six line, one of my first fish. I never had a problem with it, but I've heard stories about them.

I also have a Sixline and no issues with my other fish.

They can be ok for a little while, but in most cases become quite aggressive,

The suggestions of fairy and flasher wrasses are good for nonburying wrasses,

If you wanted a sixline for it's coral pest eating capabilities, look at possum or pink streak wrasses,

The pest eating capabilities are exactly why I want one... Are there any other kinds of wrasse that will eat them?

My 6 line would bet up my 6" Chevron tang!

They are evil fish I've had several and will never ever get another one.
My last one killed no less than 4 fish

I had one with no issues for about 3 years. He was one of the first fish in the tank.
