Its small size can hide a surprisingly strong territorial streak. If you want a community of peaceful fairy wrasses, leopard wrasses or timid fish, discuss compatibility with us before adding a Six-Line. Introduce it late in a carefully planned stocking sequence and have a way to separate fish if aggression develops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pseudocheilinus hexataenia.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTypical adult size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Around 3 inches (7.5 cm), with larger individuals possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOur community aquarium recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 US gallons or larger, with generous rockwork, hiding places and broken sightlines.
