I have at the moment a couple of 6 lines in different tanks, and one is in my 135 with others including a Pseudochromis with no problems. The secret to a happy 6 line is rockwaork or places for it to retreat when necessary. My 6 line in that tank is the smallest fish in there and is now just over 4 years old and has never shown a bite mark or any illness. Altho they do not get large they are delightful in the way they bend their bodies around the rocks as they move. Also they have a unusual ability in how their eyes move, but it is rather lengthy to get into. My other one is in my reef tank for the last year and has been a good fish and caused no problems at all.

I have a six line they are a pleasure to watch. The purple pseudo can be very agressive and a 30 would be too small for both of them.
