    So much for all farm raised fish, this flatworm plague broke me down. But I do love my new sixline! He's cool and seems to like my frozen food. Haven't seen him eat a flatworm yet though. lol!

    Sorry for the crappy photo.

    Good eye's, not really. I'm lucky, my job allows me to make my own eyeglasses. When one pair doesn't work any more, I just make me a new pair.

    ha! what a perk.

    One thing about this wrasse I've noticed. It seems to sleep longer than a college student.

    this is an old thread but i have a relevant question regarding my sixline wrasse. i can't seem to find the little bugger at night....i have a pretty good view of all the nooks and crannies in my rockwork too. does this fish bury itself in the substrate at night to sleep? i become a little worried when i can't find him and end up looking in my surface skimmer(remora) and behind the tank. i suppose if you see this question matt...please respond. thanks in advance.

    They will hide pretty good during the night... They usually lay flat against a rock and can stay there for hours. Dont stress about it during the night, ive rarelly seen mine. Now if you cant find it during the day then you can start to worry ;)

    My wrasse buried himself in the sand at night and would always sleep-in in the morning ...... missed a few breakfasts in the process.
