The only aggression I've seen from sixlines is towards fish that were added after them. I had a sixline for years and never bothered a thing.

Sixline was the last one added to our 75g reef and he is more of an underdog. The Starry Blenny and Flame Angel like to chase him every so often.

There is a 50/50 chance on that. What size is the sixline?

Sixline is reef safe. So for I haven't ever seen an aggressive one.

I have two sixes, in the same tank. One of them was one of the first fish added. Only aggression ever noticed was from the first one, towards the second one when he was added later. But that only lasted about a day. By far they are some of the coolest fish out there. They cruise the tank non-stop, will show off for you when you approach the glass, and each have their own personality. Good choice IMO.....

I do like the cardinals
I also like the pajama cardinals, but wife does not, and I was told that they might not get along with the Bangs I already have, so I have not tried them....

I love my six line! it has the most character out of the any other fish in the tank, except maybe my watchman goby.
It is true however, mine can have an attitude to anything it decides to have one with, including me! I was looking at the six line close to the glass one day and it flashed itself and all fins erect starting shaking at me ha ha. other than that, it has picked on my smaller clown but i have an anemone for it, so its OK. my royal gramma is bigger than the 6 line, so that's OK, and my goby hides.
i think you'll love your new fish!
