Wrasse compatability

[Fishko]

Can i add a yellow coris wrasse to my 29g without them fighting? Currently have a clown, a sixline wrasse, 2 skunk cleaner, firefish, and a lawnmower blenny.

Well a couple different things here in my opinion...

I hear sixline are rather aggressive to other wrasse. From what I hear it doesn't matter what the other type is, chances are high of aggression. The other part to this is that I don't think a 29g will give both fish enough space to escape each other. Yellow coris get decent sized and I think need a bigger tank than a 29g even on their own. They are very active fish; mine would roam the 125g like it was nothing.

I agree 29 gallons isn't quite big enough for a yellow coris wrasse, and the sixline may very well not tolerate it anyway.

Agree on both points - best to avoid.
