Excellent Reef fish. May squable over territories but generally private and passive, however be very cautious if attempting to house with other wrasses. Best if introduced at the same time as juvenilles or not at all. Also aids in controlling commensal flatworms and pyramidellid snails. |

The Sixline Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus hexataenia) belongs to the family named Labridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 3.0 inches in length, the Sixline Wrasse is generally passive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Pseudocheilinus hexataenia should not be housed in a tank less than 20 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places.
