I think my main issue with the 30 gallon was overstocking, I just couldn't resist adding more fish. But I've learned from my mistakes and I'd definitely recommend being more cautious when it comes to stocking a smaller tank.

The six-lined wrasse and slippery dick wrasse are definitely some of the hardiest fish I've come across, they're probably twice as hardy as some of the more common damsel species.
I just had to laugh at that, what wrasse are extremely hardy you say, that's quite a statement.

I'm dying over here, what kind of fish is a 'slippery dick' wrasse? Extremely hardy, I'm sure, but come on, that name is comedy gold.
