Ive never seen a 6 Line Wrasse this blue....

[tbaum101]

I just brought this home from my LFS. I've been looking at him for 2 weeks and I just couldn't help myself...Home he came with me after work today. So now the question is....This is actually a 6 Line right? I've never seen the blue like that before. Its not just the light.

Oh boy lol you are in for a surprise!

Nice looking fish, though.

It’ll get a bit bigger than a six-line, but they are pretty good at getting rid of a number of pests.

That is what I was wanting. I don't have anything to my knowledge beyond a pesky bristle worm I've seen a couple.of times at night. I also have a white belly fairy wrasse. Reminds me of a Beta from when I was a kid.

unintentional upgrade. Melanurus is better (temperment) than 6-line anyway.

My absolute favorite kind of mistake!

100% an upgrade. A great fish, good personality, temperament and great utility fish - taking care of many unwanted pests.
