Mixing sixline and leopard wrasse?

[MagnuM45]

Hey guys, new guy here

Just wondering if anyone has tried this combo with sucess/disaster? I just added a leopard because my LFS guy said they'd be fine with a sixline...and honestly, my sixline has been the least agressive in my tank. However, after addition, he swam around for a bit, then I walked away for a min or two, and when I came back, my sixline was on his tail chasing him. The leopard then burried himself and hasn't come out now for 3 days. I relize that leopards do this, but I'm afraid he'll come out again and just get chased into burring himself again.

My fear is that this will keep happening and I won't be able to feed him. I do feed all my fish one frozen brick of brine/mysis/otherstuff mix 2x per day, so if he would come out and eat I wouldn't be worried. Just looking for your guys input, if its a no go, I may have to try and track down the leopard and catch him

Well, sixlines are renowned for their aggression. You might have to make a choice between them...

Really? That sucks! Mine was always such a wuse lol, guess not. My bicolar dottyback and angel were always chasing him, so I figued he was docile.

Well, its day 6 and I haven't seen him since I put him in....not looking good on his part :| Any tips on getting one to come out? He's starting to remind me of a horseshoe crab I had a while back...gone for weeks and shows up outa no where lol

Not something I have direct experience of unfortunately. You might get more input in the General Reefkeeping Discussion forum. More traffic than down here.
