    I currently have a six line wrasse which I would say is about my only bully in the tank.  He chased my lawnmower blenny around my 125g whenever he spotted him for about 6 months.  I would like to add a McCosker's flasher wrasse and am obviously concerned about how this will play out with the six line.  It's a 180g aquarium.. you'd think two small wrasses of different species would be able to work things out!  Any thoughts?

    Six lines can be a terror suprisingly.

    If you try it. Make sure you have a tight fitting lid, or you will have lint on your Mc Coskers. Beautiful fish BTW

    i think it will work for you i have a flasher, lubbock, leopard, exquisite and one other kind that i forgot the name and they all do well with each other in my 120 reef but +1 for sure on the tight lids cause they are cool one night and in the am you will find them on your carpet

    differance is cowdust is those wrasse you listed are all pretty peaceful, I have most of those myself in my 90. The sixline is pretty aggressive compared to most wrasse. that said I would look for one that is larger then your sixline

    I really depend's on the six line abought a year ago i added 6 flasher wrasses to my 210 and my six line killed 2 of them right away. After they got used to eachother they were fine.

    Was also thinking of some sort of flasher wrasse, but maybe I'll have to catch the 6 line. Are they mostly aggressive towards other wrasses or is it any fish that tends to roam around the live rock.
