6 line wrasse

[Arthacker87]

Bought a 6 line to help w flat worms that might have made it to display tank. Haven't seen any. I emptied my sump and boiled rock work and equipment razor bladed tank and rinsed thoroughly lol lets see. But any things to watch out for. He was wimpy, had him 2 days and he is fat!! Eating all my pods . Feed brine he doesn'teat that. Do you think he will switch when food is harder to catch?

Yes
Try frozen Mysis too. Brine has not a lot of nutrients.

Just a FYI boiling salt water rocks is super dangerous if you have any zoas or palys, and is generally a bad idea even if you don’t. You can poison yourself pretty easily.

My Six Line doesnt eat any food I feed my fish, and I mean none. But she has potbelly on her so she's eating pods, or whatever else her keen little eyes find. But store bought fish food is not it.

I know the play toxins I had one rock I dipped cuz it had Miami Hurricanes on them and left out for 2 hours and boom opened up 2 mines after back in water. Used glove and mask. Yea I'm just hoping the 6 line does well. No competition in tank for pods only. Used to have one in an old tank many moons ago they are so colorful. Have y'all heard of them helping w flat worms?

Just overall for tank feeding on mysis? Also these brine have the algae or something like that w it

Springer Damsels are great for flatworms

Kinda at my fish limit for 65g w 20g sump lol I looked and looked, seen blue velvet nudibranch and this wrasse but no damsel dang

And I normally QT my fish but my local fish store holds them for me for 2 weeks before I but because I help the employees with the saltwater set ups there. As much as I can w my knowledge. He was there just shy of 2 weeks put him in sumo for 2 days the into main display last night when I scrubbed sump

My 6 line eats flake and pellets, in addition to everything else! Such a pig

Newly cleaned sump set up lol yay hard to fit a bunch in a 20L

 

[Arthacker87]

Gonna have a small baffled are for new cheato and razor algae

 

[Arthacker87]

Also my 6 line destroyed some flakes and brine lol he must have just been finding a buncha pods to pick off

Mine eats everything I feed and flatworms vanished every time I add a sixline.
