    Good grief people! The guy asked a simple question and you guys can't answer it without flaming each other. Just make sure, if you add anything, you do it with the lights off and watch the tank real good. You can also move the six line to a sump until the new critters settle in.

    Haha I tried to like this post. However this is not facebook. Epic Fail :(.

    Agreed. I wanted to say something as well. One thing to think of when saying something didnt work out, state what it didnt work out with? May help further the experience on why something was wrong. Not all fish are the same or act the same with the same fish. I have introduced numerous Achilles Tangs with my Purple tang, and He goes after some ignores some. My only thought on that is a gender related issue. Which we all know most of the fish in the hobby cant be sexed quite yet.

    In terms with the OP, My one sixline I tried was lunch from an LTA... lol.

    I had a six line with a pair of clowns and it was fine. Big difference is the clowns were in the tank first. Mine was never a problem, not overly aggressive to any of the fish. He was a constant thorn to my coral banded shrimp.

    Very true I was in a hurry when I commented. Checked the forum while walking out the door. My sixline added last would bully my other fish around mainly my o clowns. Would try its hardest to not let anyone else eat day or night.
