i know i can and i did but just like all the other searches i do they can contradict eachother and usually its with the most important information that is why i asked the question here so i could get good solid info from people that actually have them and have expiienced them first hand

 

yep its what were here for, unfortunately ive had no experience. im sure someone else has. im sure that youll find usefull info between both

 

yup.

I hope you find what you're looking for. They're a great fish.

 

my lfs store has one and i pondered buying him today and still may tomorrow. first off, ive found they are expensive, 150.00 at my lfs...i asked a few questions as well. First one was will they way readily, answer was yes so thats cool, second was will he get along with other wrasses such as my leopard and lubbocks wrasse, and answer was mosy likely especially since he would be the last of the 3 to enter the tank. Lfs owner said they can become somewhat aggressive if they est. territory and than add more wrasses. The last question i asked and confirmed was whether or not they were jumpers, that answer sucked...they are subject to jumping just as much as any other wrasse. Most of the time thats not a huge concern but when the fish is 150 bux the thought of finding him dried up on the floor bothers me.

In general, any fish shaped like a wrasse, or has the name wrasse is a jumper.

I wish these were not quite so $$, but the collection of them is what makes them pricey.

A very similar wrasse for around 30 dollars is a secretive wrasse.

 

o cool!! thats a sweet wrasse do you have any idea if it eats copepods most web sites didnt but i found one or two taht said it did

 

i have kept 2 mystery wrasses in the past and they are very much like 6 line wrasses in regards to how they act in the aquarium as well as the foods they eat. My first one would eat only frozen mysis, frozen brine, and spirulina. The second one i had was less picky and would eat anything and everything including flakes and pellets.

 

ok im still confused on six lines then because my local lfs told me that the six line doesnt eat copepods and so do ALL the websites but everyone here says they do so im confused=[
