After death..new fish thoughts..

[d-monic]

Hey there,as i posted on here,my radiant wrasse passed away on monday..ive been takin it easy, dont wanna rush back in...im just now starting to think of new fish to try. I would really like a wrasse of some kind. Heres the situation,i have a 45g with a midas blenny and a royal gramma..but the problem is i think my gramma was the culprit in the death of my radiant,but i cant be sure. Id really like a sixline wrasse, but i hear that they fight notoriously with royal grammas..anyone have this combination? Any suggestions of a good addition to the tank would be awsome,id like to also add a rusty angel, but that would be last,id like 4-5 fish total in the tank,i dont wanna overstock. So any ideas would be greatly appreciated..thanks so much! <3

The sixline is a kinda agressive fish. I have one in my 125 and it sometimes beats up some of the other fish. How about 2 red firefish? They should add some nice color and movement to the tank.

Yeah...unfortunately when i got him i was a super-noob to saltwater and so i trusted them when they said he was a great starter fish...only to discover now that hes heaps of trouble Im guessing the sixline would be too much of a risk..man id really like a wrasse though -.-!

If it were me I would take the gramma back for store credit and get the six-line. But that's just me.

Hey Devin, I am sorry to hear that you lost your radiant wrasse. I know how much you wanted that fish.
I think your gramma will fight with a sixline. I would either get a fish that was not a wrasse, or perhaps try to take the gramma out and return him for store credit.

Hey... I was reading your posts on this subject... I have been wanting to add a fourline wrasse to my tank.. but SWF.COM must not get them in because they are so rare, so I was going to just settle for the sixline. Anyways, I have a non-agressive tank with the following...
2 little percula clowns
2 firefish
1 coral beauty
1 blue hippo (small)
In a 55 gallon tank, I wanted to add that wrasse but reading this it sounds like they might be mean! I dont want any bullies. So should I not get him? Thanks for the help!
