Should I add a 6-line?

[ahiggins]

Hello all!

So Im looking into adding a 6 line wrasse into my tank. What do you think?

Stats:
25 gal cube
1 snowflake clown, 1 orchid dottyback, a few cuc, tons of zoa/paly, and some micro acans.
I run skimmer and chemipure elite.

My two fish are BFFs, always swim together. I want to add something but I REALLY dont want to disrupt their dynamic. I dont have any "pests" per se, that it could eat though.

Theres a fish at my LFS that stares into your soul when you walk past....literally just stares at you lol its hilarious but I dont know what it was. A bigger goby perhaps.

Anyway, any advice would be welcome, or other suggestions. (I dont want a stationary fish like gobies). I thought I was done stocking, just having my clown and orchid but I was thinking one last fish...

If it will be your last fish go for it
Otherwise no

If you plan on adding any other fish I would add that fish first. If you don't want to add anymore fish, go right ahead. Just don't be alarmed if it starts to act aggressive towards the other fish.

Ive read that even if it isnt aggressive as a baby...it gets worse as it matures. Myorchid is 3" and clown is 2-3"

don't do it. period. nasty little buggers.

Mine is a cold hearted killer!

 

[ahiggins]

Oh wow! umm maybe I shouldnt.
I really want something that will pop but I dont want to get something too big. I wish lawnmower blennies were colorful lol

They do not play well with others in smaller tanks. I would not.

Both a sixline and the orchid dottyback want to hang out around the rocks. Both will take issue with interlopers. In a 25g they will fight.

How about other blennies, or YWG, or jaw fish?

I would do a firefish or midas blenny.

I never had good luck with any 6 lines. I had 2 one got super aggressive in a 29 I had and the other was ok in my 75 but he dead after a month or so and never messed with them again.

Those would work.

I had one in my 28 with my 2 clowns. they got along fine. the clowns fought each other and left the wrasse alone and vice versa.

guess its a hit and miss like all fish

 

[ahiggins]

I did get a ~1" 6 line last night at the LFS.
He immediatly got bullied by the orchid but once lights went out, they were fine.
I will keep an eye on them-clown doesnt give a crap lol

I hope it works out

 

[ahiggins]

Ill keep you in the loop

I added my six line as the 5-6 fish then two other fish after that and they all get along great. I like my flasher wrasse better though

I love my six line. It and my Kole tang are wingmen always.
