6 Line Wrasse attacking new Cleaner Wrasse

[PLIfish]

Hi All,

I am have a 1800 liters tank, 5 months old with a 6 line wrasse living in there for the last 2 months.
I bought a small Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse, which is getting chased by the 6 line all the time.

Is there way for them to get along and the 6 line stop attacking the cleaner wrasse?

Thanks.

mine did the same, seemed to work out their differences over a good nights rest, if the cleaner wrasses is stressed out to a point that it isn't eating, then I'd be concerned and remove it for now.

6 line is most likely going to give all new fish grieve...they should be added last in a aquarium for that exact same reason.

Six lines seem to be 50/50 in terms of their behaviour patterns, a lot of people have had issues with them being aggressive and some have not, but it is generally one of the more common fish known to be as aggressive towards other tankmates.

Thanks for all the feedback.

@zippy, it took a few days but i see that the 6-line has basically accepted the cleaner wrasse.

All is good now!
