I added a royal gramma to my 90g, and my 6-line harassed it to death, unfortunately. The royal gramma was slightly longer than the 6-line, but I guess it felt dominated. I had two false perculas, and a lawnmower blenny before I added the 6-line, and they seem to be ok.

Now I'm worried that the 6-line will harass anything else that I had afterwards. I'm not sure if adding the 6-line was a mistake, or if I should just take it out and add it back in when I add new fish.

My 6-line is my favorite fish. Just don't try adding other wrasses or grammas in a tank with it or they will fight. (I know - Now you tell me). Usually, you won't have any problems with any other type of fish.

You should also be wary of ornamental shrimp. I lost a few skunk cleaners and peppermints to the little guy. I did a trade with my lfs and had mixed feelings of seeing him leave. It was a lot easier to deal with when looking at the situation monetarily.
