Can a Sixline Wrasse Live With a Squareback Anthias?

~ Possible with caution

Verdict from our compatibility engine, assuming a typical 90-gallon reef tank. Score: 52/100.

Why

  • Tank well stocked (161%) — limited headroom
  • Tank poor (90gal for 125.0gal min)

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
