Hey All,
We had an outbreak of red flatworms. Used eXit and it worked for a majority, however we still have lingering ones and we don't want to have to use chemicals again. Would like to get rid of them before they multiply en masse.
Research suggests a six line wrasse, however we have an established jawfish and a cardinal fish, both of which we adore.
Will the wrasse be compatible with our current fish situation? And, our tank is a 16 gallon, is it big enough to have 3 fish?
Thank you!
 
In my experience its kind of of a krapshoot, some six-line wrasses are just total aggressive D-bags and some are pretty mellow. I had one that was a terror and traded him in for my current six-line whos pretty chill (Lance). There's some less aggressive wrasses that can help you if your worried.

Thank you! Can you suggest some other types that would work? We don't want flatworms, but we also don't want to hurt our existing fish. So appreciated!!
