flasher and sixline

[florida joe]

Can a McCoskers flasher wrasse be kept with a sixline?

If the sixline is already in the tank, I wouldn't risk adding the other wrasse. Sixlines can be very nasty little fish, particularly towards other wrasses. I'm not talking about just chasing and nipping, but relentless punishing attacks everytime the other wrasse showed itself. I've had six lines kill flasher wrasses twice their size. If the Mccloskers is in first, you could "try" adding a small sixline, but monitor closely for problems.

I think as the sixline gets older there will be issues though JMO.

I had a sixline in a 90 gallon and added a similiar sizes flasher wrasse and the sixline killed it. Lesley
