6 Line and Goby

Alright well I own a 75 gallon FOWLR tank. Right now i have my 6 line wrasse in it and he seems pretty good. But the real problem is I really want a Goby but I should of read up more on how aggresive 5 lin Wrasses can be with other fish. So I was wondering if anyone has a 6line and goby in their tank and to see how those fish do together,? thanks.

 

I have a six line wrasse and a yellow watchman goby. I added the wrasse first. No problems with the two getting along. In fact, if the wrasse gets too close, the goby will open his mouth wide and kind of lunge at him. It's pretty funny to watch! We also have a blenny - the wrasse used to chase him all over the place, but even they seem to tolerate each other now.

 

What kind of Gobies are you thinking of purchasing!?

 

I was looking into a orange spot,or some type of watchmen goby,

 

I have an orange spot and a barber pole high fin. I added a 6 line and he was fine for a few weeks, he then decided the tank belonged to him. Every time I would feed the tank he would chase the golbys to the point where they were not getting much to eat. Even after he had his fill he would still harass them. Finally had to get rid of the 6 line and the golbys are much happier. One thing, I have a 14 gallon tank, maybe if the tank were larger things would have been different?

 

I have a sixline and an orange spot (Diamond) Goby--They get along fine. My tank is a 150g though, so dont know if that makes a difference. Sixlines like alot of liverock. mine stays primarily shooting through the rocks

 

I have a sixline, a watchman goby and a diamond goby. Sixline was added last and have had no problems.

 

I also had a sixline and a yel. Watchman...had to get rid of the sixline cuz he thought he owned the tank as well. My tank is a small 24 gal though. You might be ok but 6 lines will get territorial and it's best to add last if you want a sixline. If anything make sure the goby you choose isn't smaller than the 6 line and watch them close for a few days! Good luck and happy reefing.

 

Never had a problem adding any other fish to the tank with our 6 line. For the most part, unless you have a large tank, do not add another wrasse...
