Sixline with shrimp

[stephen wyard]

My six line is one year old and my large cleaner was in there as long .It has just died I thought it was from old age but now not so sure.I just put a small one in and it was dead ina week and I saw six line trying to eat the dead body.So I don;t think I will put another one unless it is a large one.

It depends. If it’s just a six line in the tank and the shrimp, it’s a problem. As they grow they will eventually start harassing the peps, relentlessly. I just caught 3 of the 4 in my frag tanks. I quickly passed two on to a NJ reef club member. The third I put in an isolation box in the tank that housed the remaining uncaught 6 line. Ironically that six line is so busy posturing with the one in the box he’s now completely ignoring the peps in that tank. Lol fish.
