Default 6line wrasse and firefish

I have a 30g with a 6line wrasse and citron goby. The 6line is very small, and does not bother the goby at all. Would it be ok to add a firefish or should I stick with what I've got? I figure fish, even though sometimes judged to ber aggressive, they all have personalities too.

6 line wrasses are generally peaceful... but might be a problem when established and adding new fish. I would say go for it... but a revamping of the aquascape is in order as well as possibly a mirror placed next to the glass of the aquarium to distract the wrasse for a while.

I've kept a number of six lines so far, and I can tell you that for the most part they are pretty happy keeping to themselves, but do not be fooled. When they decide to be stubborn about a new fish they will harass it to death. Try to get a firefish that is bigger than your wrasse, that should do the trick. I have yet to see one go after a fish that was noticeably larger than itself.

To keep the sixline happy and busy, so as not to bother other fish, ensure that there are a ton of caverns and crevices for it to explore. It'l end up picking a pattern and once it has that most fish added after that are much safer.

He already seems to have a pattern, and there is many crevices for him to explore. He is still very small (maybe an inch), I'm sure I could find a fire fish large enough.
