Simple answer...YES...BUT...A. the 6 line will (most likely) turn nasty, and B. I've had a possum for the past 4 years...total viewing time, can be counted in minutes...it's ALWAYS hiding in the rocks. I would say I see it once a week, never comes out to eat, but still alive.

my 6 line is very peaceful I have had it for little under a year now and it just swims around and that is about it I dident know if 2 rasses could co exist in the same tank

since you already have the 6 line, it may be a problem to add a new wrasse...I have multiple wrasses in 4 different tanks... guessing, I will have more than a dozen in my new tank.

 

[anthony27]

wow that is alot of wrasses what size tank do you have I have a 40 breeder.

 

[albano]

what size tank do you have

tanks range from 120g to 170g, new tank is 450g...you can click the links below

Ant, I wouldnt do it. The 6 line will turn nasty when another wrasse enters the tank.

+1 with Albano, I have a possum in a 40g frag tank with a scooter blenny and he is always hiding. He comes out to eat but I think even if the sixline didn't bother him you still would rarely see him
Cute little fish when you do see it

My possum did hide initially, but he is now out and about most of the time as Anthony saw for himself yesterday.

I wouldn't add a possum to your tank though. Your 6 line has been there a while now, so he is more then 99% to kill the possum.

 

[anthony27]

what fish would be compatable with a 6 line then

 

[nanoreefer22]

Anything thats not a wrasse for the most part

 

[anthony27]

lamo good one chris yeah I know i wanted one but in a bigger tank yes.

Anthony, you can put the 6line in a smaller tank for a while. Get the possum, rearrange the rock works, and after a while of giving the possums time to establish it self you can re introduce the 6 line. That might work.
