    Flasher Wrasses are definately jumpers so heads up, Bangiis are really cool and easy, especially in a schoal, 6 lines can be an issue with small shrimp and definately with some sandbed fauna, also pods and feather dusters but otherewise, a great fish! I like the firefish idea, maybe a purple or two??

    My sixline has been a perfect gentleman when it comes to the invertebrates. He's a big rude to the new tank additions... at least of the first couple of days. Sixlines are definitely a great fish in my opinion, as long as its one of the last additions.

    How about a Whitetail pygmy angelfish.....I have one in my 36g bowfront w/ a seahorse, yellowatchman goby, circus goby and randall goby w/pistol shrimp. I've never seen her pick on the corals ( Mostyly softies: colts, ricordeas, assorted mushrooms and assorted zoas). Another fish that you might consider....Armed Perchlet (geometric hawkfish).....this little fish believe or not is an anthia. It basically perches around like a hawkfish but on the bottom ----like the sandbed. They only get to be 2 inches when fully grown. If you consider a cardinalfish may I suggest the bluebarred cardinalfish. They're look like a glassfish---almost transparent but they have blue around the eyes and on the fins....very striking little fish once they acclimate to their environment.

    6-line wrasse would not be good since you got a Dragonet in your tank. A few years ago, i got a pair of Mandarin Dragonet and a pair of 6-line in my 400 g tank. They are all had plenty of food and the Dragonet spawn regularly. After a long while, more than 1 year, the 6-line pair take turn and peck the eyes out of my Mandarin female. Once the eyes got peck out the attack end. The Mandarin starved after a few months and the 6-line goes to the LFS as soon as I caught them One right away and the other took 1 week with a fish trap.
    So 6-line and Dragonet is a no no IME, especially in such a small tank

    Ok, 6-line is out. Banggai is the winner I think. Though I'm still tempted to try to also add a purple firefish. I wonder if that would be too much load in the tank. Hmmm..
