So Im have a 1" ish 6line wrasse in my 58 gal right now along with a pair of clowns and 4 chromis. I was thinking about getting the trio or wrasse on DR F&S. Is this too much for the tank and do you think the 6line will tear them up?
While my experience may not be the case all of the time, but I had an established 6 line in the 320g with plenty of room and still bullied/chased any newcomers that are simliar shaped like longnose hawk and other wrasses until they jumped. Based on my experience a 6line should be one of the last wrasses to add to a tank not the first if you plan on more wrasses.
So IME it's risky.
Regardless if you try or not, every inch of your tank should be covered or if you have a canopy, screening placed across any opening so it can't get out of the back.
I think I am going to try it. I made a post looking for a fish trap. Perhaps if I take out the 6line and put in the three, I could put the 6line back in in a few months or something. I am willing to be wrasses would be less likely toi be bullied when there are more of them (trio)
I doint have any problem with the 6line and a yellow coris in a 6' 125. They just avoided eachother, and the 6line was there first -established for months
I figured three fish for $100, and I have enough credit to cover shipping. The order has been placed. I have a diff tank I can hold them in until I get things figured out. I would prefer the three in the 58, but if they dont all live I will do somethjing else. Now I need a fish trap!!
I "had" a 6 line that would not allow any other wrasses in the tank with him. He would pester them to death. The tank was a 150. I would not do it with the 6 in there.
I have a six line that was put in a couple of months before the yellow coris wrasse in our 55gal. We have no trouble at all, not since day one. At this point the most agressive fish is the royal gramma.
2 six line? I would assume theyd do that. I bought three wrasses as a harem (sold together, labeled as trio). So they should be fine with eachother, but perhaps not the 6line.
They used to make 60's, They weren't around for too lonmg. but they were like a smaller jug! OHH the 800!
