pregnant six line wrass?

I got a six line wrass about 2 or three weeks ago. It's tummy seems to be bulging. If it is pregnant is there any chance babies could survive in a reef tank with a couple of damsels, yellow headed goby, a couple of cleaner shrimp and a manderine? Any other suggestions?

Six line wrasses do not bare live fry they lay eggs. With out a mate there would be no offspring. I've never heard of six lines breeding in captivity. Six lines are pod eaters when there new to tanks which don't have a pod eater present they will have a smorgasgborg at first trimming down the excess pod population.
