Six-Line Wrasse

Mine has been a great fish - always out swimming around for all to see. Has left my corals and inverts and other fish to themselves for the most part (although he does bully my chalk basslette at times). All in all a great one I think!

 

Glad to hear that a 6line will do alright with a pair of false percs. I was concerned that there might be conflict between the 2 species in my 20H.
Has anyone else had problems with their wrasse going after shrimp?

 

Mine was fine with a cleaner shrimp for what it's worth.

 

I also am a fan of the 6 line wrass. Mine leaves all polyps alone. The clown ocellaris clown will chase him away but I also fine the 6 line wrass cleaning my tangs sort of like what happens in the wild which surprised me being that I have not read that fact but only witnessed it on tv and while diving.

 

Update I have one peppermint shrimp missing and my son watch in horror as the sixline wrasse tore apart the cleaner shrimp after it molted and started to tear apart the cleaner shrimp and then after the fish joined in on the killing! When I catch the sixline it will go in my 65 gal FOWLR tank with the other killers!

 

I had 2 six line wrasses who did awsome in my tank very shy at fist not coming out of the rocls but then swimming about freely but they both came to a horrible fate as they were both sliced from mouth to tail by my arrowcrab.Their bodies landed behind rock making it impossible for me to take them out so i had to take out my rocks and take the lil guys out and my whole rock structure was messed up, but as far as the fish they rock.
