Can a Sergeant Major Damselfish Live With a Sixline Wrasse?

~ Possible with caution

Verdict from our compatibility engine, assuming a typical 90-gallon reef tank. Score: 53/100.

Why

  • Tank poor (90gal for 158.0gal min)
  • Tank well stocked (198%) — limited headroom

It can work if…

  • Upgrade to a larger tank — this species needs more volume
  • Social concern — review this species' social requirements before adding
  • Schooling species — add at least 4 more companions for best health
