    It totally is! That's why I stayed away from a 6 line. Some people told me they are great fish, and others told me to stay away because they are devil fish. haha If you get a baby that should help.

    Yea, I meant display. Lotsa flow would be an issue.

    Aye. Good point.. I will look for a small one if I go this route.


    @mission - yeah that pipe fish would need some more muscle like one of those scary engineered salmon! :)

    Hah, Funny you speak of jumping fish. My Blennies have jumped way much more then my wrasses ever. Ive had a Christmas and Yellow and Purple Wrasse for around 2 months now. Leopord Wrasse for a Few days. Anyways. They are in a corner tank. Pretty hard to make a screen for that tank that wont get beat up by the shape and MH lighting on it.

    Anyways The tank has no top. Pretty sure I have all my fish still... Knock on wood.

    I think it depends on the other fish in the tank. If the fish is likely to be bullied then the sixline will bully it if it stands it's ground then it won't be bullied.

    thanks :) he's very active and stands out the most out of 6 fish, if you do get a McCoskers try to make sure you dont have any fish that would bully it, i have a evil chromis and poor flash gets smack downs like no other sometime, and all flash does is just display and plays dead, now that ive added the other two wrasses the evil chromis has finally laid off flash.

    and do a mesh top if you dont like egg crate, id love an open top but i love wrasses more so i settle with egg crate
