    watch out for aggression with the six line, mine did good in my old tank for a month or two, then turned on my clown, so he had to go, but very interesting fish to watch

    if you notice a white spec on his nose don't freak out! you don't have ich it's normal!

    i have been worried for the past few weeks since I added my six-line with that stupid white spec on his nose thinking it's ich or some viral infection. googling pictures tells me that it's pretty normal! what a relief!

    Thanks everyone I'll hope for the best I do have a lid on it. And it seems to be playing well.

    6 lines are great fish IME,Ash is dead on with the info and yes they will decimate your pods,but very good at eating other pest and fish foods too,seems they never stop eating.Biggest thing though,yes it should have been the last fish in your line up.Congrats on the new add.

    I'm glad its such a cool fish but it hides if u get close witch sucks sometimes. But not happy should have out it last but I do plan on lots of more rock as I go along I already have the 25pounds now. So going to add much more so new scape will take away aggression and any territory the fish may have have if I have read correctly. What two more do u recommended one has to be blue...
