    Can you have two sixlines in the same tank? I have read that you can NOT but then I have also read that someone on 3 reef added two to his tank and they got a long fine and even spawned.

    Right now I have one in my Red Sea Max and another in my 120. I'm going to tear down the Red Sea tank and was considering moving him over. Should I put him in my Refigum and let him do some cleaning down there?

    I'd at least move the one to the other tank at night. Good luck.

    They like to eat pods so i don't know about putting it in your fuge... I've always been told not to put them together, why not try it though. If they fight, catch one and go from there...

    I a 120 you might be fine. Traditionally you shouldn't keep wrasses that look alike together, but some people have with good results. I think in a tank that big you will probably be ok.

    I put my two in my tank at the same time and never had a problem. They are the pair that started spawning. The tank is an 85 gallon. Go to "pregnant six line wrasse" if you would like to see the pair. Also, I found that they love pieces of raw table shrimp. I use the table shrimp on a skewer to bring my Coral Banded Shrimp out of hiding and the Wrasse are right there with him tearing it up. If you do need to trap one I suggest a piece of shrimp for bait.
