Default two six line wrasses in the same tank?

im about to upgrade my 10g reef and 37g reef to a 75g reef. only problem is i have a six line wrasse in both. is it possible to keep two together? or would they beat the crap out of each other? worse case scenerio, i'll just use the 10g as a frag tank and keep him in it... BUT i dont wanna do that... thanks in advance...

I cant speak from experience but it looked like you may be overstocking tanks. There just seems like alot of fish for those tank sizes.

the tang def. does not belong in a 37 gallon tank..unless it's a juvy. Your already doing the smart thing by getting a bigger tank..just don't go crazy with fish buying...you do have a pretty big bio load right now. As far as your wrasses...if you want to keep the both of them then one has to stay in the frag tank...they will beat the holy heck outta each other.

I'd be concerned with my 6-line having another wrasse in my 220 gal tank. 6-lines like to swim back and forth around the entire tank and they would probably fight until one dies.

yes the tang is a baby.. very small like about 1 1/2 or 2 inches. and i do regular water changes, the only fish i've lost is a bi color blenny that liked to jump well he jumped one day i wasnt home and i couldnt save him. so big load, yes.. TONS of liverock, yes.. regular water changes yes... over loaded bio.. no. i had 4 fish in my 10g at one time.
