which is more agressive

travis127 · 07-14-2008, 07:44 AM

Out of these 2 fish which one is more agressive?

1. The Strawberry Gramma (also known as Purple Pseudochromis)

2.The SixLine Wrasse....

I've heard there both bold but I like them both alot so I trying to see who think which is worse?!

I have both and they are both about the same... And it really depends on the other fish you are thinking about getting or already have. Both fish are intolerant of other wrasses or fish of the same size and shape.. I would add them last if possible... Both fish are VERY nosey to new additions and are first to chase them around..

I had trouble with a Purple Pseudochromis bothering anything new that went in my tank. Finally ended up taking it out. My 6 line wrasse on the other hand has never been a problem.

the only thing in my tank so far is a yellow watchman goby

lcstorc · 07-14-2008, 07:20 PM

Personally I would skip the six line.
Mine is a terror.

travis127 · 07-15-2008, 07:37 AM

its hard cause everyone says different about there 6 line and purple pse. some say the 6 line is no prob other are like he is satan himself! I guess It just depends on the fish that you get ..all could be a tad different.. I wanted to add these two next (one at a time) but didnt know which to do first..wanting to do the less agressive one first I was gonna go with the 6line next after hearing some peoples replies but now lynns reply got me not so sure! thanks guys keep your thought coming

you hit it on the head Travis. It all depends on the fish. If you can observe one at the LFS for a while and how they interact it may help getting the right one.

Individual fish vary.FWIW a Sixline is a more useful fish than the Dottyback.

maaaybe so.. any other input

rmlevasseur · 07-16-2008, 11:34 PM

I've had the bicolor dottyback which is supposed to be similar in nature to the strawberry, and he was as docile as could be. He was a great fish and very hardy. Had him for 7 years until a moved forced a teardown.

travis127 · 07-16-2008, 11:55 PM

thanks for that info!

I have had 2 six lines in 2 different tanks and had no problems with them. I kept many fish with them and really enjoyed them. I think the key to my success with them was that I added them last in both tanks. GOOD LUCK!

travis127 · 07-17-2008, 10:38 PM

thanks what trying to decide though is if i get both those fish which to put in first ..sounds like sixline first but not deff yet
