six line and flasher wrasse question?

[cbrjenkins]

I recently acquired a flasher wrasse, and upon introducing it to the tank, my six line attacked it and has been picking on him over the past few days. I noticed a little hole i guess you could say on the side of the flasher, yesterday, and now today he is no where to be found. I tried to catch him to put him in quarantine but he is just too fast. Somebody please tell me a little sixline couldn't kill a flasher.

Back in my newb days, I put a magenta pseuochromis (I didn't know it was the same as a dottyback) in the same take with my 6-line. They say the magenta dottyback is supposed to be mean, but that 6-line took care of business.

As other's have said, sixlines are evil. Flasher's and fairy's are all pretty timid compared to a sixline. There might be a few examples of a timid sixline and aggressive flasher that can live together....but most of the time the flasher will be stressed until is either jumps or wilts away. Depending on the size of your tank, there are some wrasses that get much bigger than will have no problems with the sixline.
