6 line wrasse

Would one get aggressive in a 125?

I would think that if there was plenty of rockwork he would be fine. Thats alot of space for a sixline. I had a melanarus wrasse in a 90g and he did great. Every fish is different though.

I would assume a six line is too small to bully a copperband. Just get a different wrasse. As mentioned they are a pita

My Six-line Wrasse peck the eyes out of my mandarin then ignore her and let her starve to death. This happened in my 420 gal tank with Six-line pair and Mandarin pair. All four fish were fat and my Mandarins were spawned every few nights. They were together for over 1 year. Pecked her eyes out in coordinated attack that was over in a few seconds. One wrasse per eye.
Now Six-line go into my tank over my dead body.
