Six line wrasse tank mates.

Six line wrasse is a bit of a bully

I did some searching but figured I would ask here anyways.

I’m in the middle of moving some tanks around and some fish.

Not sure where to home the six line wrasse.

Does he go in the fuval 36gal with the pair of likey mated clownfish and cleaner shimp , snails etc
(That’s where he has been for the last 6 months)

Or do I put him in the 70gal lots of rocks, some juvenile clownfish a school of blue/green chromis .
Firefish, engineer goby , blue sapphire damsel (NOT the yellow tail blue damsel that is a nightmare! This one is quite peaceful and shy) and a saltwater molly I can’t catch.

Thanks I’m advance

i would say a bigger tank will have more room so they can establish their own territories as compared to the 36g. i have a 6line in my 40b that replaced my yellow wrasse but i watch him closely to check for signs of aggression. it’s likely that it is docile now due to a tomini tang that’s also in the tank and bigger… wonder what’ll happen once i rehome the tang

Ah I forgot to mention I have a scopes tang in the 70gal as well

And also another option for the 6 line wrasse is to simply go in my for sale/trade tank and move on

Try him in a bigger tank first!
I have a sixline in a 4x2x2 and it has been a model citizen tbh ( I might regret saying it tho ) been in the tank around 6 months with no aggression!
