6 line Wrasse

Hi guys. I just got a firefish for my tank that had 2 false percs and a royal gramma. It's not working out and the royal gramma is bullying the firefish. I'm bringing the firefish back to the LF's. I know that the firefish is a very shy fish and is easily intimidated but do you think a 6 line wrasse would be able to stand up to the gramma. The percs could care less about the firefish. It's a 38g tank by the way

My understanding is that the sixline will become very aggressive as it grows, which is too bad as I like them a lot. A pink streaked wrasse would be less aggressive, but I don't know how it would do with the gramma.

if the six line wrasse would be your last fish, it would probably work, it's hard for new additions with it since it's aggressive to new additions.

thanks for the info. Is the gramma only reacting this way because the fish is new. He lets the clowns swim almost into his burrow and doesn't react
