id also x the sixline off the list. mine was cool at first, he grew huge fast(now nearing 3", bigger than my tang) but its so hard to get other wrasses in there. it took a while before my twin-spot hog was accepted and now my new filament wrasse is finally starting to make appearances for the first time in over a week but is quickly back in hiding because of the sixline. i am considering getting a mystery wrasse but i would have to get a large one and id keep him in a separate tank on the main system for a couple months until he gets to be Bold enough.

I am with slandis on this one. I have a sixline which is also one of my favorite fish, and he is in a 29 gallon with an open top with no problems. I have seen him get into it with some other fish but the fighting never lasted long with no damage to anyone. I think once everyone gets used to everyone it will be ok.

From my experience all of the wrasses from the Pseudocheilinus genus[4 line, 6 line,5 line (mystery)] are all bullys or tend to become that way over time. I would stay with members of the Paracheilinus genus (flasher) or genus Cirrhilabrus (fairy/velvet) wrasses. Even some of the fairies can be somewhat bullies. If chosen properly and placed in the tank in order of aggression they can be placed in the tank in harem fahsion and would IMO make a beautiful display in a 90. Just remember my favorite saying when it comes to fish. What you read about them is just a general overall view of how a majority of a particular species is supposed to act. Just remember fish can't read.

Tank is coming along. We finally got it plumbed (and mostly filled) and are waiting for some rock (25-30 lbs from Joel and 75 lbs of dry from Scott). Not sure how much we will put in, but we have options. I was looking at the different wrasses rather than the 6-line, but we ended up holding housing my parents since they began starting their tank over and it was getting beat up by the damsel in the temporary housing tank. I kinda have a feeling she is going to just tell us to keep him. He is happy now in the tank he is because he is not being beat up...he is healing nicely. Anyway, I will post pics when we have the rock. Just wanted to update everyone.
