    I've never kept the two together so i'm not sure, it might be hard to tell but the female that the pictures are of is only about 2" shes real tiny and shes in there with a maroon clown, coral beauty and dwarf lion and they dont pay any attention to her. I think i read once on this site that you could not put the two together casue the 6 line would beat on the leopard but if your 6 line isent to bad i'd say go for it, i just wouldnt put a tiny 2" one in there if your worried it might get beat up. It'd help to if the leopard is already eating frozen foods, the one in the pictures, the female, she was not when i first brought her home and im sure a bully 6 line at feeding time wont help with the weening. In any case i'd wait for more replies.

    Stay tuned for pics of the male if you think the female is cute, hes pretty handsome and they look alot different as far as coloring

    I would not either, especially if the 6 line is a resident.

    Leopard wrasses are not a beginner type fish. They can be picky, especially regarding eating.

    none at all, i was so excited when i came home today to see him swimming out and about i sat and watched him for about 45 mins and he seems to be a member of the family already:) He didnt even pay attention to the female and the coral beauty and maroon left him alone. He ate again today so no worries there, hes still a bit jumpy like when i walk up to the tank or when the cleaner shrimp tries to get near him but other then that not a single problem.
