I only have one six line wrasse on a newly setup tank but I am seriously considering stocking it with more Wrasse instead of other fish I had in mind. Anyone have suggestions for a smaller but awesome looking wrasse? My tank is 33 gal

I would've held off on the sixline since it can be aggressive towards other wrasses with the same body shape. Try some flasher if you like but be warned that wrasse are super addictive and once you start man oh man its hard to stop.

Hmmm. I noticed that six lines can be aggressive, mine likes to nip at the two firefish I have at times. Do they get along with not-wrasse a bit better? I was planning on getting a pair of black/white clowns and a flame angel eventually but am seriously considering more wrasses instead.

Does your firefish even come out with the sixline roaming around? Dwarf angel and clowns are tough little fishes so I wouldn't be worried about them. Do some research before you add any other wrasses but I can tell you they are one of my favorite fish.

The firefish come out in the evening when the lights are on and are more apparent when feeding. That being said though, when the firefish are out the sixline can be a bit aggressive at time.

Get rid of the 6 line if its aggressive already if you want to add flasher/fairy wrasses. If you do a search, you'll read a lot of stories from members whose 6 lines harassed small, docile fish (often to death).

my sixline whos fullgrown killed the last 3 fish i added to my tank almost instantly ill never buy one again

that said my black leopard and him are now best friends the good thing about wrasses is they have the option to hide in the sand if stuff goes downhill, mine did just that to get away from the sixline, he would come out for a minute get harrassed then hide and repeat the process after 2 weeks they are the best of buds hunting side by side....weird and trust me this is n ot like my sixline he usually cares for no one lol


that said i just added a blue spot leopard to the fragtank, i gotta say im loving these guys and am getting addicted lol

thought about buying a christmas wrasse yesterday but i decided against it untill some research.

so what do you guys think abiut the xmas wrasse good fish or not??
