    I would get a Mandrin added to the tank before a six line. Six line wrasses can get territorial.

    One small piece of advice, if you don't mind, is to wait a month or two before getting the mandarin. Right now you don't necessarily know if your pod population is stable. When my tank was about 3 months old, I had an absolute explosion of pods - they were crawling every where and covering my glass. But after another month or two, the population declined a lot because the food they were eating was dieing off, and predators had started eating them. So I had FAR fewer pods after 6 months than I did at 3 months. Just my 2 cents to consider.

    ok DONT get both a mandarin and a sixline get one or the other because there will be to much competition and the food source will be depleted very quickly. Also if your going to buy a mandarin buy a male mandarin fish. they have an elongated dorsal fin which looks really cool. and when you buy one PICS!!!!!!
