They're usually more of a problem with smaller fish added after them, but still can get nasty with other fish once they get settled. I see the six line as a major food competitor with your scooter blenny, so unless the blenny is eating prepared foods, I'd pass.
Six lines have a pretty wide range of behaviors and some are pretty social. Just be aware of the potential risks.

I have a pretty good pod population, but I was thinking that might be a problem... The Bleeny does eat frozen food, but I was also thinking about taking him into the LFS and trading him in for a mandarin. So I think that might be the nail in the coffin.. I don't know if my pod population would be good enough for a 6 line wrass and a mandarin....

My sixline is pretty mean. He almost killed my yellow watchman(who now lives in my nano). and he fights with my maroon clown all the time. He was a model citizen for awhile but as others have stated he got rowdy when he settled in. I would add this fish with caution. If i had it to do all over again i would never have got him, but i cant catch the little bugger now!

See this is why these forums are so wonderful..
You can learn from other's experiences. First I was thinking this would be an easy add. Now after this post and a little bit better thinking. I have decided against it for a couple of reasons 1 I didn't even think of before.
