Beautiful fish but extremely aggressive unless given lots of rock work they don't have to share. I had to give mine away because of it's aggression towards my royal grammar and chalk goby.

Great fish for eating flatworms, bristle worms, copedpods, etc. Gets along well with all my other fish though it’s in a 120g. I’ve heard it can be quite aggressive in small tanks.

The six line wrasse is one of my favorites. He really likes to pick at the rocks for copepods and other small things. There really good to keep corals healthy form parasites. He is always swimming around the rock work. Rarly aggressive only seen him try to attack one of my clowns like once. Amazing fish!!! The bigger the tank the better I love how they look when they swim all across the tank!!!!

The six line I have is not at all aggressive. He is not always visible because of his size he can often get lost in the rock work. I’ve seen him eat parasites off of fish and is a cute little guy to look for.

Love this fish but would recommend adding last as he can be aggressive to new additions and other tank mates. They can jump but mine hasn’t he’s very active.

Is a beautiful fish but did end up killing some other fish I had in my tank at the time and then hopping through the small gap in my lid of my tank

Can get very aggressive in small tanks with small tankmates. Cool looking fish. Eats pests like a champ.
