    Six line currently in tank approx 2.5 yrs....at this point does prevent addition of new fishes as he is aggressive towards them...time to go or say forget it and run the tank with the fish in it...currently in are six line, clown, niger trigger, 1 anthia, yellow tang, tomini tang

    I'd pull him, unless you're really happy with what you've got, but by virtue of this thread, I doubt that's the case.

    A wrasse of the halichoeres genus is just as effective for pest control, but doesn't carry the terrible attitude along with it.

    plus one on making the effort to remove it now

    the last fish you purchase is always your favourite fish for a while (then you may revert to a previous favourite)

    and as such if the Wrasse was to bully a new introduction you would then be forced to remove it

    so I would do it now, before getting a new fish
