Fish trap. Trap some bristle worms then use them as bait for the six-line?He stopped killing. Guess those fish were just ticking him off. Its weird they knew their time was numbered and they were scared beforehand. My $$ is on the six line. Its going to be an operation to get him out.
I'm probably going to have to remove all my rocks...
the 6-line was so ticked I didn't get him one he went on a killing spree.

I'll get them from a Petco. I don't have large enough bristle worms. Thanks for the great idea!
This.
I see you got a Blue Line Cleaner Goby...So I walked into my fish closet this morning and was like omg... am I going to catch a break with these fish!?
Turns out he was just joshing me... was totally fine just passed out that way. Thats why I chose the Canary Blenny over the Midas.... They are way more gregarious.
I'm pretty sure the six line killed the other canary at least; So before I found the Canary dead, I almost had a chance to catch him out of the tank. I saw him kind of stunned swimming in circles obviously hurt; his fangs were out; I think I interrupted a fight between him and the 6-line. I didn't have time to get a net before he came to and swam for cover.
I think it was a fish killer too judging by the bitten tail fins. Can’t say which one myself because even herbivores can kill for territory. Up to you to spot the aggression.Using a reliable Fluke 77 IV multimeter I have 20V AC when I put the black in a grounded terminal and the red in the tank. I get the same when I removed all wires. I also get 20V when I do the same in a plastic terrarium with saltwater, Phyto and pods and an air bubbler only.
I think the voltage is ok. The Canary Blenny is still super spooked; the larger fish are ok.
If it were a chemical like sunscreen or bug spray, I would think it would kill the things in the exile tank first since that was exposed directly. Also, The coral banded shrimp are fine.
I think I have a killer
Can six line take out larger fish like anthias?
One possibility- Phosphate rise when nitrate is limited. You may have lower nitrates then what the test can show.
I have one in the tank! He was spared by the killer too. The blue line and in quarantine is a sharknose goby. Basically the same just with a splash of yellow at the head.
I could have bought a Sharknose yesterday but it looked sick. Something about buying an unhealthy fish - especially a cleaner fish - just doesn't sit well with me - QT or not.
I agree. I won’t buy one just as statement, in the off chance it will motivate better shipping and transferring processing.
They're pretty neat fish kind of sit around. sometimes hovers in the column.

I guess when I stopped the pumps to feed the corals the other day he swam above the cheato then I turned the pumps on. I blackout my sump so didnt see him stuggling.
