Six Line Wrasse

Hi,

I have a 20g nano that has a few frags, cleaner shrimp, purple firefish, false perc, snails etc. I was wondering whether I could get put a 6 line in there. I have a 30g on the way and when that ready, I will put everything in there.

Info would be great.

I'd be a bit concerned about crowding/aggression. Six lines are very active and will make use of every bit of space they have. A 20 is a bit small IMO, particularly given the other two fish. Six lines can also be pretty nasty with other fish, even if the others are already established. This is a fish that can have distinct personalities. Some are rather docile and don't pay attention to other species. Some, OTOH, are terrors and will pester or even attack similar sized fish. I've had two that exhibited the latter traits, even killing a flasher wrasse. If anything, wait until you get the larger tank, have lots of LR and add the wrasse last.

Maybe a small goby like a watchman, citron or neon? All are peaceful and wouldn't be as active or apt to bother the other mates.
