Wozza,
I have a pair in my 55G. They are somewhat shy at first,VERY peaceful fish. They eat like champs -- anything meaty. They jump, so keep tank covered. You MUST keep with peaceful tankmates: gobies, mandarins, etc. Rebecca |

The six-line wrasse might be a problem. A lot depends on the size of the tank and the disposition of the individual fish. You might have a problem in a 37-gal tank but then again, maybe not. It's hard to predict.
And don't forget about the jumping part. You have to make sure your tank is jump-proof. They're like fairy wrasses in that respect.

The clown might get aggressive too, as everyone grows up. Unfortunately it's very much an individual personality thing. I recently had to take a copperband butterfly juvie back to the LFS, because, despite what you read about them being shy and needing peaceful tank mates, MINE was a total brute.
You will have to wait and see and possibly make changed accordingly. GOOD LUCK Rebecca |
