Six Line VS Fairy Wrasse

[sweet ride]

I have a six line wrasse and green corris wrasse, i have to agree with most of the people about the attitude of the six line wrasse, but at the end of the day my two clown fish keeps him at bay....

Idk I LOVED my sixline he was always putting on a show for me n my girl swiming up n down and around with his spikes out and he got along great with two clowns and a neon dottyback
But I shut my tank down to move to bc so +1 on them being hard to catch anyway I would get a sixline again I loved the spikey attitude and he was super friendly with my other fish mind you he
Was the last one in!

Six line are well known to be aggressive with other wrasses, so once you put a 6 lines you can't put any other wrasse usualy.

That's why I stayed away from the 6 lines. If you want more wrasse, try the peacefull specie instead.

I bought a checkerboard and had a yellow in the tank. The checkerboard is supposed to be peacefull but was attacking the yellow. So I sold the yellow and once the yellow wrasse was gone he started to attack my little pajama cardinal!!! so you never knwo with fishes!

I got a yellow tang and he killed my male mandarin!!! nasty tang. who would attack a mandarin??!! Now I am left with the little female and had to sell the yellow tang for an aggressive tank.

Nothing is ever granted with fish.

I ended up catching the six line so he found a new place in my sump refugium for now. Well fuge in training.... no lights yet.... just some rock. I am pretty sure he will be fine.

NOW the question is.... do I try trade him for a small six line (as I love him) or say good bye to him forever as I cannot pt him back in with the fairy wrasse.

I also am stressed out that I cannot find two of my fish since rearranging the rocks.... I am really hoping they are hiding and not crushed under rocks.

Man what a shitty day in the reef.
