What a good Wrasse too add to my tank?

Even in a 225gal tank a six line would not leave a friends new fairy wrasse alone. I had one once upon a time in a 50gal that wouldn't allow me to keep a yellow coris wrasse, small clownfish, or yasha goby with it. Your best bet might be to get something much larger than it... and I'd highly recommend you have a cover for your tank otherwise it will only be a matter of time before you find them on the floor.

My six lines been preatty good had him and the coris for 6 months but I'm setting up a new 36x24x12 frag tank so someone might get banished.

I would look at the christmas wrasse, they can usually hold there own in a tank with any aggressive fish. Plus they are pretty vicious pod hunters. 6 lines are usually dicks, so I'm not really sure if it will pester the Christmas wrasse and force it to burry itself in the sand, or fight. You always take that chance with 6 lines.

Phil I am ordering some Hawian wrasses from marine aquaria soon if you want a little less common one

What makes six lines aggressive? We have one and I think calling him aggressive would be a big stretch. Is it just fish aggression or just constant picking at things?

From my experience both, I watch them pick at other fish in stores all the time, I've also witnessed a few kill other fish.
Really depends on each fish though.

For a while there was posts every couple of weeks from different members asking how to catch the 6lines and get them out of their tanks due to aggresion. I know several people including myself that used to have them and no longer do cuz they ended up killing other fish. They're one of my favourite fish, really active and cool colors but they're evil. Always the same story, "but mine is so well behaved" few months later another post is up by same poster looking for a trap.

Adding any fish at this point is iffy..it will probably get chased.

Frame wrasse is my favor...
