Six line wrasse

My newest fish. And tips or suggestions.

 

Nice slow acclimation and lots of pods if you got em.

Very cool fish btw, one of my favs.

 

I love mine and second that on the pods, mine hunts all day.

 

Yea got pods looks like it never stops eating. Lol its in out of rocks but does run when u get to close to the tank. Guess it will get use to us. Hopefully but its the perfect colors for a reef tanks and very mobile.

 

I call mine the humming bird of my reef he never stops ....

Cool thing also Six Line Wrasse makes a cocoon??

Yes, if you can find which hole he sleeps in every night in your rocks, you will see he makes a clear jelly cocoon to hide in, if you have a cleaner shrimp and the shrimp finds the wrasse, he will eat his cocoon while the wrasse sleeps, which can cause stress and anxiety for the wrasse, but typically they find a good enough spot to hide/sleep in at night.

Very good fish, can be aggressive once established so hopefully you won't be adding any more fish to your tank but they are a lot of personality and very fun and mysterious to watch

 

Really o o was planing for two more fish . Only have this and one Picasso clown.

Hope for the best, but people always advise adding the six-line last due to it's aggressive demeanor once it's established itself. I'd try to go get and add those fish you want ASAP, I added my last two fish a few weeks ago, one of which was a six-line, the other was a flametail blenny. Added together at same time and they both were fine. I guess it also depends on each fishes individual personality. I've seen some six-lines be ****s where others seem more docile

 

i suggest a lid as i have had 2 siucidal 6 lines

 

Six Line Wrasses is awesome. It weaves in and out of cracks and crevices and picks at algae all day long. Beautiful coloration! Great addition for your tank.
