    DEf have to get something semi agressive.. both your fish are, and the Sixline may be rough on softies!
    +1 on the goby! Bicolors are sweet!

    My sixline got along with our Coral Beauty in 5 minutes...but he's still mean to the little algae blenny we've had for a while. So get something that'll put the six line in its place.

    Our Pinkbar Goby was pretty cool until he took a swan dive onto the carpet.

    my lil yellow clown goby gets along great with the clowwn pair and sixline i have.
    he also eats flake and cyclopseze.
    he is prob the coolest lil fish out there def my fav fish in my tank except he can be rough/kill sps corals.

    i also think they have poisonous slime coat that will stop any fish from eating bothering him too much.

    he can def hang with fish bigger than him i have seen him nip my clowns.!

    im looking for another fish too go in my 60 gal with the same mix.
