Six Line Wrasse Question

[gsw0716]

I've done a bit of reading about the Six Line Wrasse with mixed reviews. My LFS has one at a good price, as tempted as I am, I'm most likely leaning no, as my 25 gallon may be too small to begin with. Anyways, here is my livestock, looking to add one more fish. So overall, yes or no? Thank you.

Two Ocellaris
2 Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
1 Gold Coral Banded Shrimp
Numerous inverts.

I have a six line wrasse in my 25g tank and doing good but I added it last. Doesnt bother anyone.

Any shrimp in there?

Thank you. Maybe I'll give it a shot if my LFS still has it Friday. What do you normally feed yours?

I feed frozen mysis and brine, pellets and flakes.

I love the look of these fish and their high energy, but I keep reading they can often be horrific bullies. Depends on the individual I guess. I'd love to have one.

My only concern would be for the shrimp.

I have one in a 220 Gal and it's fine, but have no shrimp anymore...used to have quite a few peppermint's in the tank.

OP how did it go? I want/need a 6 line to help control flat worms and maybe some other pest snails. Similar sized tank 33 gal, uncovered (big concern).
