Default 6 line wrasse and dottybacks

Hey,
Im just wondering if 6 line wrasses are compatible with royal dottybacks, royal grammas, pseudochromis strawberry or pseudochromis diademas?

Im looking for bright purple fish to join my 33gal tank, with a pair of clowns, gobies, scooter blenny and 6 line wrasse?

Thanks

In my experience, the sixline chased the royal dottyback fiercely! Once I got rid of the dottyback, the sixline picked a new chasee - a canary wrasse. Got rid of the sixline.

Royal Gramma is a beautiful purple fish with a milder personality than a dottyback in my opinion. (Though the sixline probably won't like the royal gramma either)

Damn, that really sucks :P
I think i will give it a try... ill get a smaller 6 line wrasse and ill let the gramma get established in the tank first.

Does anyone else have any experience with these fish?

Thanks

Yes, they are devils and I would not recommend them.
The other thing you have to look at is the food requirements in your small tank. Most of your fish are searching for the same food with the result that your scooter is likely to be the loser.
