    Default Sixline Wrasse?

    I would love to add one to my tank. But do I dare? Current fish are, Royal Gramma, Bi-Colored Blenny, Banggai Cardinal and a Yellow Watchman Goby.
    What say you all?

    Six lines are fine until they get big and aggressive. What about a McCoskers flasher?

    Definitely stay away from the 6 line. How big is the tank. If it's small (ie under 40 gallons) a possum or pygmy wrasse would be a better choice. for a 40 breeder or larger a Flasher Wrasse would work. For a 4 foot long tank or bigger you can go with the likes of a Melanurus, Red-Lined or Christmas, etc. I would go with a Melanurus over a green or yellow anyday. Take a look at the male:
