I keep hearing that too, yet my sixlines have been some of the most peaceful fish in my tank. I think if you have a large enough tank, excellent rockscaping (ie: lots of places to hunt and hide) - you'll have less behavioral issues. My sixline is kept preoccupied 24/7 with an abundance of pests and things to hunt - so that's probably the other half of the battle.I am getting a 55 gallon, and I initially had a 6 or 8 line wrasse on my list, but after reading horror stories about these, I am skeptical. Is it really that bad?

As with any fish, YMMV. Perhaps I've just won the sixline lottery twice in a row...
Would the sixline work with:Very much would fit in a 55. I have one very happy for about a year and a half in 34G. It’s also never really had any aggression problems but I have a ridiculous amount of rock and everything in w it is on the aggressive side for the most part.
Yes. All different "swim lanes".Would the sixline work with:
Coral beauty angel
2x anonymous clowns
Yellow watchman goby
Lawnmower blenny
I may be wrong, but the frag tanks do not have many hiding place. Your tank is big, but the fish are very exposed.I have a 60 gallon long that I use for a frag tank. The only fish is a six line for pest control. Black Friday I bought an orange back wrasse and put him in the frag tank to quarantine. The next day I had to put him in a separate box because the six line damaged his eye and tore some fins. I thought the 60 would've been big enough for the both of them but I guess not.
Sixline wrasse going into my tank over my dead body was my vow. Then a good friend move out of the country and I inherit a Sixline wrasse. He is every bit of a pain as I remembered about my previous experience with Sixline wrasse, and it was a bad one.I am getting a 55 gallon, and I initially had a 6 or 8 line wrasse on my list, but after reading horror stories about these, I am skeptical.
