I have never had a 6 line wrasse because of there aggression issues but I like the fish so I eventually found a pink lined wrasse! cooler colors and totally peaceful with the same shape
I have had mine for just over a month now. he has a definite personality always watching me from the caves and he is coming out now when he sees the food jar in my hand. very beautiful fish

couldnt tell you? never had any pests to watch it eat but it is a wrasse and I have never seen a wrasse pass up eating a live critter on the glass or rocks

bristle worms are not too bad to have they are actually quite beneficial and especially since you are just starting they will take care of any over feeding you may do. so don't do the six line just yet plus they are satan incarnate to any fish added after them.
clowns are awesome beginners, very hardy, nice to look at and active especially in pairs.
if you want an anemone please wait for your tank to be a little more established before adding one, i made that mistake. since the tank is still new there are a lot of factors that could lead to the anemones downfall. not to mention since its still new youre probably going to be moving things around for a while, till you find an aquascape you really like. And when it comes to corals they don't like to be moved.
so percs or oscellaris all the way then maybe a single fire fish or purple one, chromis are great beginners especially in small shoals.
look into a watchman goby/pistol shrimp combo. very entertaining, don't require much room, keep to themselves! if you find a fish that you really like but has aggressive tendencies. hold off till you have other fish you wanted also. six lines, pygmyangels, dottybacks, some blennies, great for small tanks but once they've made something their territory...its a wrap! just do some research before a purchase and you'll be a ok!
