six line wrasse

will i be able to add one to my tank? {my current set up is in my signature}

 

How long has the tank been up and do you see pods and pest snails in there?

 

about 6 months and there tons of those snail shell looking encrusting worms and pods all over the tank

 

Then a six line would be a wonderful addition. I have one and you will love the character that they bring to the tank. Always very active!

 

I agree with Otty!!!! You will love a six line...

 

Sixlines are awesome, you might be careful since you have another wrasse already in your tank. I know some have had luck with mixing wrasses, we had a horrible experience. The sixline is a docile fish and one of the first to be introduced to our display tank. We added a Yellow Fin Fairy Wrasse and in a very short time, a few hours the sixline was trying to kill the fairy wrasse. We were able to get her out and she is doing fine in one of our other tanks.

 

Ummm, I am hardly the one to talk about a over-stocked tank, but looks like you already have quite a bit in your 29 gal.

You are pushing bio-load limits now.

Also asking allot for fish to stay happy with each other in that small a space.

Adding sixline could result in significant problems with both space requirements and filtering ability.

Keep close eye on water params regardless.

Be prepared to do some frequent and significant water changes.

Good luck

i must agree with omard.if you have too many fish toxins(poopies)start to produce nitrate and nitrites and algae occurrs fish get sick and other creatures die.gotta be careful.plus i wouldnt reccomend it with another wrasse in there.but every case is different.;D

 

you really think my bioload is high? i didn't think that coral and inverts counted. either way, my water peramiters are great, i've added 10-15 lbs more live rock recently {on top of what is in my sig} so ive got a lot of biological filtration, and other than the goni {thanks lfs, they told me it was a great beginner coral that would thrive}, all corals are thriving.

the cleaner wrasse and red flasher don't bother each other too.

might try the sixline....will have to see,. i will keep you posted.

 

Give it a shot... You never know until you try??
