6 line wrasse and 4 line wrasse

[Zoaelite]

I stayed away from 4's & 6's altogether as I heard they could be a little aggressive towards smaller fish. Instead I went with a yellow corris wrasse who so far seems to be a pretty good addition.

I few years ago I had two six lines together in a 90g tank. Both were bought together. They loved each other and swam together all the time, never bothered anyone.

Fast forward to today, put a 1 sixline in my current tank first, then about a month later put a second one in. The first one quickly harassed and killed the second sixline before I could get him out He does not bother anyone else though.

I had a 6 line in my 50gal frag tank for a while. It hated every new addition that was smaller than it or similar to it. I didnt leave it alone with any fish long enough for it to kill it but it did beat up an Ocellaris clownfish, yashia goby, and yellow coris wrasse.

I saw a McCosker Flasher wrasse for sale and it was beautiful. If you are just looking for a small wrasse the flashers usually aren't aggressive (of course any fish can turn into a nightmare though) and have great coloration. I was thinking about a 6 line as well but decided it wasn't worth the risk of having to pull my tank apart to get him.

I disagree Zoaelite. In my experience the 4's and 6's are rarely aggressive towards smaller fish.

No experience with the yellow corris weasse, but I don't find them particularily attractive.

They are not the nicest looking fish but they sure have a personality. Getting fish is like mixing random chemicals, you really never know what's going to happen. I have also seen 4 lines that are amazing with smaller fish but the larger majority of people will have problems with them. In a 160 you will have a ton of room and should be fine, why not go with a different type of wrasse though flashers are very nice looking fish.

that makes sense. I actually have a 200. so yeah lots of room.

What do you think about adding an octopus?

Another one of my "leave in the ocean" animals. Unless you have done a few months of research, have a tank that is a species only and that is 100% COMPLETLY SEALED you will run into problems. In a reef they will eat everything, they have very low survival rates and in general I would stay away from them.

I love my 4 line, gets along with all my fish great... it's actually my royal gramma that turned into the bully when I added him. The gramma is half the size of the 4line and it beats up on him all the time lol
