Would a yellow tail blenny be a good mate for the six line wrasse? I currently only have 2 clowns and six line wrasse and coral banded shrimp. However, I was also thinking of cardinals. My tank is a 37g tall. Has 4 frags of Zoas.

Could go either way, but a six-line is best left as the last fish put into the tank. He may not take well to new arrivals

Blenny would be good cause they can stick up for themselves. Cardinals aren't great swimmers so if the six-line does go after them they're toast

This right here just taught me a lot! I'm SO glad I didn't buy those cardinals when I was at the pet store over the weekend. I noticed my six line wrasse knips at my clown fish. I think it has become territorial..the wrasse was the last added fish in my tank.

My wrasse is very friendly with my clowns but let’s see how it will act with the fish that are going to go in.

I have a sixline that is tankmates with a Tailspot Blenny, pink bar Goby, and a Banggai Cardinal, and they all get along great. They’re in a 28 gallon.

Edit: my Banggai will stand up to the sixline, he’s not at all scared of it.

That’s great, I believe it’s just if you’re willing to take risks.
