    Very strange thing happened, I saw my sixline a few days ago and everything was normal and he was eating great. Now the past 4 days he is missing in action. Looked all around the tank and no fish chips that I can find.

    Just sucks because he was the first fish in the tank and by far my favorite.

    Did you check the overflow? Mine has jumped in there a few times....Also, mine disappeared for about 2 days...They bury themselves in the sand at night and sometimes forget to wake up...

    Yeah checked the overflow and the filter sock in case he made it down the overflow. I'm hoping he is just having a bad week and will show up.

    Coincidently my prized sixline also came up missing few days ago:confused:

    Not a jumper, have had 6+ years...

    "Googling" "sixline wrasse lifespan" - I found it reported anywhere between 4 and 10 years.

    May be reason...:-[

    Also have no idea as to age when I got it. But probably was a juvenile as that is what I always try to get when adding any fish. Don't remember.

    Still hoping is on extended vacation somewhere in tank and hoping it will show up.

    If does not, trip to LFS for another in order, while tank inhabitants are used to having one around...


    RIP Sixline?---:cry:
