We study the dynamics near an equilibrium point of a $2$-parameter family of a reversible system in $\mathbb{R}^6$. In particular, we exhibit conditions for the existence of periodic orbits near the equilibrium of systems having the form $x^{(vi)}+ \lambda_1 x^{(iv)} + \lambda_2 x'' +x = f(x,x',x'',x''',x^{(iv)},x^{(v)})$. The techniques used are Belitskii normal form combined with Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction.
