Yellow Banded Possum Wrasse

[austin_socal]

hi everyone,
I was wondering if you thought that a sixline wrasse could be compatible with a yellow banded wrasse in my 25gal lagoon. he is fairly chill and has never messed with a fish, only shrimp lol.
(I have a sixline wrasse and I'm looking to get the yellow banded)
TIA

I wouldn't try it in a tank that size. I keep both of those fish and they are fine but the tank is 84x30x25" and they have plenty of rock to cruise without having to be close to eachother.

thanks. its a beautiful fish but I don't want them to be stressed so I'll hold off

I would not put these two together. The yellow banded wrasse is a shy fish and normally hiding behind the rockwork and they will be stressed by a sixline wrasse IMO. You need a much larger aquarium for these two together and I´m not sure if it helps if the sixline was the first fish in the tank

I have two of both of those fish with no problems but my tank is 125 gallons. I am not sure what would happen in such a small tank
