Sixline wrasse

[Dierks]

Interesting, most of the literature says they don't sand sleep. I know mine doesn't but there are some sites that say they might hide in sand when stressed. I see his cocoon sack floating around the tank in the mornings.

I have never seen one sleep in the sand - I have had lots of them as I sell them. I agree with you

Going to try to get another six line, they are my favorite fish I loved that little guy. Does anyone know if a sixline and leopard wrasse can be together? This is the wrasse I have now and him and the six line were best buddies
Just want to know if they would all workout together the 3 of them.

Depends on lots of things. Space, shelter, size, order of entry and personality - maybe even location of collection
Had a six line in a 40 that I had to tear half way down to remove because no one, not even a dottyback could handle - and now have a melanurus (largest) a leopard (slightly smaller) a six line and a smallest yellow coris in a 180. Nary a confrontation that i have seen, and the six line is the best most active hunter/picker in the tank. Does not even always come off its patrols at feeding.
Sorry for hte non-answer, but it depends

Since he’s new you think he’ll come out soon? Or will it be awhile?

Never know... You just have to kind of wait, and be ready when he does come out to feed him. Frozen foods would be my recommendation.
