Should I add a sixline wrasse?

[Andynz2000]

I currenty have two juvenile clowns, a small red scooter dragnet and a yellow coral goby in a 30gal tank.
Can I add a six line wrasse now or should I wait until its the last fish to be added?

Temperament wise it should be good if added last and small.
That said, I wouldn’t because it is a voracious pod eater and would outcompete the dragonet in so small a tank.

I wouldn’t do it, it will gladly outcompete the dragonet for food. These guys are also highly aggressive in smaller tanks with less rock and you have 1 fish that uses the rock a lot already so I wouldn’t do it.

I have seen them pick the eyes out of dragonets.

I have one. I think they are cool. Hasn't bothered any of my fish and hopefully your dragonette is acclimating to regular fish food to.

IMO I wouldn’t add a six line. You can try possum wrasses, pink streak, mystery wrasse and evanidus are friendlier than a six line.

Sixline's vary individually, I've had some that are monsters but my current one is peaceful, with some fish you just never know.

Mine continues to be fine now for almost 2 months. Swims like a torpedo. Searching for pests constantly. Doesn't bother any fish.

Pink streaked wrasse/Cryptic six line would be less aggressive and better suited for that tank size.

I have a six line and he is generally cool with all the other fish. I do supplement with pods I harvest from a separate system I developed out of a beverage dispenser. Dragonet and wrasse thrive with the pods. Dragonet also likes blood words and will eat directly from a pipet.
Note- this is fine when you don’t travel. If you ever vacation it’s important to have someone house sit to feed dragonet.

Anybody have experience with a pair of these? I have a 500 gallon and was thinking about trying to pair them. Are they hermaphrodites?
